I think this is what happened...

"sad to say it but the guy who filmed this in england told authorites and telivision news that it was fake. he was a pro photogragher and edited some clips into one and sold to some news agency. but sum people say the government forced to lie so dont jump to any conclusions "

I think I messed up the details on what I saw on t.v. at age 11 hehe. I may have been remembering a different show.
