Though that\u2019s undoubtedly the most viral part, the next line follows: \u201cOfficials say all 10 people died due to the fire, which was too hot for their bodies.\u201d<\/p>\n
The sound has gone viral once again in 2026, with one person writing on TikTok<\/a>: \u201cWhen you gotta write a 500 word essay and only got 459.\u201d<\/p>\n @.immaloseit<\/a> <\/p>\n \ud83d\udc94 #fyp<\/a> #foryou<\/a> #xybca<\/a> #hihihi<\/a> #school<\/a> <\/p>\n \u266c Cinnamon toast crunch beat \u2013 evilminion2088<\/a> <\/p>\n \u201cMe explaining my past relationships to people,\u201d another said.<\/p>\n Someone else sarcastically joked: \u201cYeah but what actually happened was there a fire in the Bronx???? Was anyone hurt????\u201d<\/p>\n But it\u2019s got me wondering: What did happen during that Bronx fire that killed 10 people?<\/p>\n The truth of \u201910 people died in the Bronx last night due to a fire\u2019<\/p>\n I was today-years-old when I realised that the viral sound is completely made up. There was never a fire in the Bronx that killed 10 people in the Bronx due to a fire. Sorry, what?<\/p>\n In reality, the line is from the FX comedy show<\/a> Louie, which streamed from 2010 to 2015 with five seasons. Specifically, it\u2019s from season four, episode nine, entitled Elevator Part 6. In it, there are cutaways to a fake news channel where the now-viral line is said.<\/p>\n Credit: FX<\/p>\n So yeah, we were all totally fooled for over a decade, and it\u2019s probably down to one simple reason: It\u2019s so believable. News blunders are a staple of the internet in 2026, from the BBC anchor who stuck her middle finger up to Deedee MegaDoodoo.<\/p>\n Still, I feel like my understanding of the world is crashing down.<\/p>\n For more,\u00a0like The Tab on Facebook<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n Featured image credit: FX<\/p>\n ![\"Credit:](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/MV5BMTU2NjQxNjMyM15BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwOTE5NjQ1NTE@._V1_.jpg\")
