Deccan Chronicle, Hyderabad's finest paper, suffered a face palm moment on Wednesday, when it published a hoax bungee jumping video as real.
The video shows a man taking a leap without bungee chords; he is wearing a magnet suit and is bounced up by huge magnets placed on the ground carrying opposite charge.
Deccan Chronicle introduced the video as a science experiment, in which a daredevil had agreed to do the crazy feat, knowing fully that things could go...very wrong.
We wish Deccan Chronicle had waited till the completed before going ga ga over it.
As we had noted a few days ago a TV channel had beamed another hoax video of a man getting sucked in by jet turbines as real.
