NON-EVENT

A 'non-event' is an anticipated or highly publicized event that either does not occur, or simply turns out to be very anticlimactic, boring or is a hoax. Non-events are disappointing, as they are often much hyped prior to their occurrence.
Some notable non-events of recent history have been:

★ The much-hyped 1973 appearance of Comet Kohoutek

★ ''The Mystery of Al Capone's Vault'' - The 1986 live TV special of Geraldo Rivera opening Al Capone's vault, which turned out to contain a bottle of moonshine.

★ The Year 2000 problem (Y2K bug)
