In 2000, police in Blacksburg, Virginia kept receiving 911 calls from a
the home of Daniel and Linda Hurst -- but when the emergency operator
spoke, no one on the Hursts' end spoke. After determining that the
Hursts were not home, the police decided to raid the home, guns drawn,
to search for potential hostages or malfeasors. The found neither.
Instead, they found an overripe tomato, dripping its juice onto an answering machine. This caused the answering machine to short circuit and, for some reason, repeatedly dial 911.
