King Kong climbs the Empire State Building

On April 1, the drone company Studio Hock, which specializes in creating "world-class drone show experiences," posted a video clip on its Instagram account claiming that they had used their drones to simulate King Kong climbing the Empire State building. They concluded the post with the remark, "#aprilfools might just be my favorite holiday" — a giveaway that this hadn't happened. Nevertheless, the clip is fooling quite a few people (such as here and here). At least one news station (wsvn-tv in Miami) has reported it as an actual event.
