On November 22, 1987, sports anchor Dan Roan looked into the camera and said, "Well, if you're wondering what's happened, so am I." Seconds before, WGN-TV's nine o'clock news had vanished. In its place: a man in a Max Headroom mask, swaying in front of a sheet of corrugated metal, buzzing with static. Roan joked that the computer "took off and went wild." Then the signal snapped back. The intrusion had lasted about thirty seconds.
