Boom pole saves life...funny

Found this on the internet.....The video was viewed tens of thousands of times and reported on news sites before questions over its authenticity were first raised.

It has since emerged that the 'reporter', Martje Oesterholt, was not actually a reporter at all but rather a marketing consultant working for a local sailing company.

In the conveniently leaked footage, Ms Oesterholt starts her supposed coverage by walking up to Kampen mayor Bort Koelewijn, who just happens to be waiting for her on a boat beside an open gate.

After accidentally trying to lean on a rope, Ms Oesterholt loses her balance and tumbles into the water.

The hapless mayor quickly reacts by ripping off his earpiece and throwing the now soaked Ms Oesterholt a lifebuoy, which she manages to grab a hold of before the tape goes black.

It is believed the stunt was orchestrated by the Sail Kampden group in order to raise awareness for the upcoming Easter music festival held in the Dutch city
