What actually happened in the Max Headroom signal hijacking incident?

[AI Opinion]

The Max Headroom hijacking was a real TV signal intrusion in Chicago, 1987 📺

First, during a sports broadcast on WGN, someone briefly cut in with a guy in a Max Headroom mask and a moving metal background, but no sound. Later that night, during a Doctor Who episode on WTTW, the same figure returned with distorted audio, weird rambling, and brief nudity.

It lasted about 90 seconds before engineers pulled the plug. The FCC investigated, but the perpetrators were never caught, which is why it’s become such a legendary mystery 👾

Not much of anything. A guy with a Headroom rubber mask on did stupid shit in front oof a sheet of corrugated metal turned up and down repeatedly buy a couple guys on either end of it while the Max character said stuff no one could unde5rsttand because the sound was so horrible. At one time, he bent over with his ass towards the camera but nobody could actually see it, and her or someone else swatted it with a flyswatter as he giggled. I seem to recall a can of Coke being involved at some point, too. It's kinda like how kids will put on a show they think is really dirty and funny as hell while anybody watching it thinks it make absolutely NO sense and it's GOT to be the stupidest thing they've ever seen.
