I always thought that Funny prank calls are something that kids do when they are bored, and to show how cool they are in front of their friends, but this little old lady and the crazy mess she caused proved me wrong.
An elderly woman from Scotland alerted the coast guard about swimmers in distress after confusing TV drama she was watching with real life.
A Royal Navy helicopter, a lifeboat and a team of coastguards were sent to help the missing swimmers after her call this Monday.
After scouting the water for some time, they realized that something was wrong. Than it hit them. She was watching the movie named “Open water” about a couple being attacked by sharks while scuba diving. Apparently the scenes was so realistic she thought it was really happening.
“She was watching a program on TV and she phoned 999 (the emergency number in Britain) and asked for the coastguard,” a local coastguard spokesman said.
“We could hear the screams in the background. She just thought it was a real incident happening in front of her.”
He added: “You can’t charge her with hoax calls, you just feel sorry for her.”
I can’t even imagine the fear she was going trough at that moment. All I can say is I’m getting that movie tomorrow to see what was the reason for all this craziness.
