A faked meteorite crater in a school car park, concocted to promote a science "discovery day", has been so well executed it sparked alarm on social media — with school leaders admitting "we didn't think it would go this big".
Photos of a steaming "impact crater" in the Corpus Christi Catholic School car park, along with people in hazmat suits inspecting a large boulder in an area cordoned off by police tape, were posted on the school's Facebook page and shared to the Lauderdale Fire Brigade's page.
