Fake news???

I was on a treadmill in the corporate gym. There was a local "call-in" radio station playing and the hosts were known for their practical jokes, etc. Suddenly they broke from the usual banter to announce something about a crash in a building. People were calling in asking why they were doing such a sick joke, etc. (Now we'd just call it fake news.) The hosts insisted they weren't, and said they were watching it live on TV. It took awhile for the hosts to regain their composure and figure out what to do. They announced that they were going to move the TV with its speaker closer to a mic so the people could hear the commentary for themselves. Sadly, the situation eventually sunk in. The rest of the day was strangely quiet as employees slowly did their work with one hand and one ear glued to desktop radios.
My dad thinks they (the owner) blew up the building for insurance fraud (they had it insured against terrorist) and also the building was made with asbestus and was a liability to them otherwise
