This always reminds me of the 2007 incident on Czech TV, where someone hijacked a weather panorama broadcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ea4eft_3p-I

IIRC the panorama cam was connected to the Internet and had been hacked, so no microwave magic there. Good execution nonetheless...

It was not connected to the internet, they actually went to the place, and I believe they have switched out the coax cable which was coming from the camera with their own input.

There was a mini-montage back in the day of them pulling this off.

The music...the camera bounce...the fuzz at the end. Marvelous work.

Wow the editing for that time was really well done. Looks almost completely real.

Brilliant.
