I'm sure this is how the Koreans came to believe in fan death.

I think you're right.
We had a supervisor at Boeing that was a little stupid... just a little. She got an email from a girlfriend saying if you clean your glasses with Windex type solutions you'll go blind from the ammonia. Right away she's on a mission to make everyone in the plant aware of this threat to mankind. A real pain in the ass, because of a bullshit email taken as gospel.

I could see every London firehouse getting notice from headquarters with some bullshit someone, with some authority, swallowed and forwarded to all. Now the guy in the firehouse says it came from the top, somebody must have verified it, and passes it on as gospel. The problem here is compounded by using that gem in the investigation of a fire, coming up with that explanation, means they may be overlooking something important. Plus once it hit the news, half the people will be telling everyone they, this new important "fact".
