Casi llegada la medianoche del dos de diciembre de 2011 los habitantes de la ciudad de Villavicencio fueron sorprendidos con un mensaje en cadena que llegó a los dispositivos móviles de la época. Este mensaje alertaba sobre una presunta avalancha que amenazaba con destruir la ciudad, los vecinos chismosos salieron a gritar, los celulares no paraban de sonar, el rumor se propagó rápidamente.
La estampida no se hizo esperar: la multitud en pánico intentando huir para salvar sus vidas, la anarquía se apoderó de la situación y el caos causó más de un estrago. Tres horas después de la emisión del mensaje -y con una ciudad patas arriba- los ciudadanos se enteran de que es una falsa alarma. Hoy, varios años después, los protagonistas del evento nos cuentan con ironía y gracia una serie de relatos que reconstruyen el día en que se vino Chingaza.
