TAMPA, Fla. December 18, 2009 — A turkey-frying stunt Friday by the MJ Morning Show injured a firefighter, destroyed a van and alarmed fire department officials, who say the intentional blaze was unauthorized. Tampa fire spokesman Capt. Bill Wade said he was “very disappointed.” Officials from WFLZ-FM 93.3 were not available to comment.
The DJs used a crane to drop a turkey carcass through the open roof of a plumbing van that had a vat of burning oil inside. An inflatable snowman stood near the van’s open side doors. Clear Channel broadcast the whole thing live from its studio parking lot.
