The Mystery of Al Capone's Vaults is a two-hour live American television special that was broadcast in syndication on April 21, 1986, and hosted by Geraldo Rivera. It centered on the live opening of a walled-off underground room in the Lexington Hotel in Chicago once owned by noted crime lord Al Capone, which turned out to be empty except for debris. Thirty million viewers watched, making it the "highest rated syndicated special" in history. Rivera had inadvertently launched a "no-news" form of news, where instead of reporting on news, entire programs were about possible and hypothetical news. Included in this was news channels counting down and hyping an upcoming news event, like a presidential briefing.

  • The Mystery of Al Capone's Vaults was een twee uur durend rechtstreeks televisieprogramma dat in de Verenigde Staten werd uitgezonden op 21 april 1986. Hoogtepunt van de uitzending was het openen van een dichtgemetselde ruimte in het die aan gangster Al Capone had toebehoord. Op wat rommel na bleek de kluis echter leeg te zijn. De uitzending, die gepresenteerd werd door sensatiejournalist Geraldo Rivera, trok zo'n 30 miljoen kijkers. (nl)
