This diver has been all around the world since I first saw this hoax, why not Colorado?
THINK YOU'RE HAVING A BAD DAY?
Pike National Forest personnel in Colorado found a corpse in a burned-out section of forest while assessing the damage done by the Pine Glen forest fire. The deceased male was dressed in a dry suit, complete with scuba tank, flippers, and facemask. A postmortem test revealed that the man died not from burns, but from massive internal injuries. Only dental records could provide a positive identification. Investigators then set about to determine how a fully clad diver ended up in the middle of a forest fire.
It was revealed that on the day of the fire, the man was diving at 11-Mile Reservoir, some 20 miles from where he was discovered. The fire fighters, seeking to control the fire, had called in a fleet of helicopters with very large dip buckets. Water was dipped from the reservoir and emptied at the site of the forest fire. You guessed it. One minute our diver was making like a trout in the reservoir, the next, he was doing the breaststroke in a fire dip bucket 300 feet in the air. Apparently, he extinguished exactly 1.78m (5'10") of the fire.
Some days it just doesn't pay to get out of bed!
