The BBC got punked on Friday when they thought they were interviewing a representative of Dow Chemicals over the Bhopal disaster in which 18,000 people died. The impostor claimed Dow Chemicals was accepting responcibility for the incident. By the time the network ran the interview on it’s domestic stations the error was discovered and the BBC had to admit to the mistake which caused the Dow stock to go down 4.25% in 23 minutes wiping $2 billion dollars from its value.
