SCIENTISTS who accidentally drilled into a magma chamber under a volcano in Hawaii have broken the planet, it was confirmed last night.
The experts drilled an exploratory well 2.5 km into the earth's crust through the basalt lava fields of the Kilauea Volcano on the east of Hawaii's Big Island, though Christ only knows why.
By breaching the magma chamber the scientists punctured the earth and unleashed billions of tonnes of unstoppable molten rock, which you think someone might have thought about beforehand.
Seismic data and lava flow rates examined by a committee of Nobel Laureates suggest the planet will now slowly deflate over the next six months like a burst football as everyone is boiled in their shoes.
Professor Julian Cook, a magma specialist at Reading University, said: "Oh God, no. Christ on a bike and sweet baby Jesus."
He added: "Oh Christ almighty. No, no, no, no. Please baby Jesus, no."
Last night the UN Magma Emergency Committee (UNMEC) was convened on board the International Space Station comprising of Chelsea owner Roman Abramovitch, Peter Mandelson, choreographer Arlene Phillips, PR guru Max Clifford and Jamie Oliver.
Oliver said: "People of earth, face your certain extinction with dignity and remember: heroes die, but they are remembered – for a while; cities fall, but they are rebuilt – although not in this case obviously.
"We will now hand you over to Morgan Freeman who will comfort you by slowly reading out the ingredients for his grandmother's recipe for chocolate chip cookies."
