I remember watching a tv show many years ago where a news van pulls up to an accident. The reporter and cameraman jump out to realize there isn't much of a story. Then the reporter kicks a flare toward the car leaking gas causing the car to blow up so they would have a story to report.
At the the time I remember thinking no one in their right mind would do such a thing. Now I'm not sure there are many "in the business" who wouldn't.
