Non-event
A non-event is an anticipated or highly publicized event that does not occur or turns out to be anticlimactic or boring. 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 1986 appearance of Halley's Comet
- The live prime time special of Geraldo Rivera opening Al Capone's vault, which turned out to be empty
- The Y2K bug
