I was listening to WFMU a few years ago and I heard this insane fake news report type thing. A reporter in a helicopter is covering a car crash that slowly builds and builds until it becomes apocalyptic (possibly there's an alien attack). He stays perfectly calm through the whole thing.

There was a dj on WFMU who did a couple of those things, I remember when flight 587 ( I think) crashed in Queens there was a fake news report from the bay and the DJ was supposedly in a rowboat reporting on the types of wreckage he was finding floating in the water.

WFMU is doing their fundraiser now, why don't you call them or e-mail them?

That reminds me of a comic, I can't remember who it was, doing Harry Carey as he deapans the distant nuclear blasts and mushroom clouds of the apocolypse while continue to narrate the baseball action.

Sounds like Joe Frank's "Eye in the Sky" episode from his series Somewhere Out There.
