Sacked for Wrong Weather Forecast

As reported by the BBC:

Hungary's top two weather experts have been fired over a mistaken weather forecast that sparked political uproar.

What had been billed "Europe's biggest fireworks display" had been organised for Saturday evening to celebrate St Stephen's Day - the national holiday,

But seven hours before the scheduled start, the government postponed the event, citing extreme weather warnings.

The weather, however, stayed calm - leading to the sackings of the head and deputy head of the weather service.
