Students’ ‘crash scene’ prank wins praise from cops
The hoax was applauded for being so good.
This is the “crime scene” which greeted staff and pupils at a school in the US – a car had apparently crashed through a wall creating a large hole and sending bricks flying.
But all is not as it appears at first glance.
Graduating seniors at Cumberland High School in Wisconsin had staged the scene as part of an end of year class prank, a tradition at many US schools.
The class used black tape and a black sheet to make the pretend hole and scattered bricks to make it seem like the junk car had crashed through a wall.
“It wasn’t actually a hole, though. Using tape and a black tarp, the students created the illusion of damage, making it look like the car crashed into the side of the building.
“The best part? This prank included absolutely no damage at all to school property, which is why police singled it out.”
The car included the message: “We’re bustin out!”
