On April 1, 1974, a local man named Oliver Bickar burned 70 old tires in the crater of Mount Edgecumbe in Alaska for an April Fools’ Day joke. The dark smoke rising from the crater convinced residents that the volcano was erupting. After phone calls from the locals to the police station, a helicopter flew up to the top of the mountain. The pilot told the officers, “the son of a gun looks fantastic.” The hoax was revealed and “April Fool” was spray-painted in 15 m letters. The Guardian reports that Bickar had been planning the prank for four years, and lists it the best Aprils Fools hoax of all time.
