Seismic Disturbance Triggered Sudden impending doom Hoax

It was 4:00 am and I was in one of my friends room when all of a sudden his IRC was being flooded with messages containing stuff like Earthquake about to hit GIKI and stuff. At first we thought it was a rumour but judging by the sheer amount of the IRC queries, this could not be a mere joke. It could however be a Hoax(Something that never came to our minds at that time). Moments later I called the GIKI telephone exchange and asked em what was going on and they told me to evacuate the hostel. So we ran around the hostel literally breaking everyones door down. After that we stood and waited in front of the hostel. Not to our surprise everyone from the other hostels were also standing outside thier rooms doing nothing for hours and hours. The mood of the people was more of a Come and get it over with. However luckily it didnt come and once again the day had been saved by nobody whoever he or she may be. We got to know about it being a hoax when ppl's parents started calling em and saying that PTV decleared it a hoax. GEO also made a transmission on their web site which we all listened to after all the wait.

Thank god nothing bad happened that day otherwise Pakistan would've been one giant pond thanks to Tarbela Dam .
