The Daily Pulse:

We're Going to be Famous! (not the good kind)

Yes, once again Knoxville is vaulting into the national spotlight for all the wrong reasons. This time it's our wacky, vent-crawling secret agents! If you'll recall, last September a man lowered himself into an air vent at the Knoxville Museum of Art--and then got stuck. So he called 911. In the 911 recording, he identified himself as an agent with "the United States Illuminati Order." 

And now, this moment in history will be immortalized with a reenactment for the reality crime series Call 911 on the Investigation Discovery network. Television crews from the network are in town filming tonight around 7:30 p.m. with the fire department. The new season of Call 911 starts June 5, but the actual air date for Knoxville's brush with weirdness is still to be determined.

Read the press release after the break!
