Volcano eruption greatest April Fools prank ever - photo

[Jon]

Yesterday was April Fools' Day in America, and I saw some good ones. But I've never heard of an April Fools' joke that bested the one by Oliver "Porky" Bickar, a Sitka, Alaska resident who faked a volcanic eruption.

Bickar flew his plane over a dormant Alaskan volcano, Mount Edgecumbe, and dropped in around 100 tires doused in fuel, which he then set on fire, before spraypainting "April Fool" around the volcano's rim in large letters. A bit blunt, but still legendary.
