There is really no predicting what can go wrong while you are reporting live on television.
From bad weather and rogue birds to pesky dogs and angry bystanders, reporters are used to several uninvited guests interrupting them as they communicate a vital piece of information on live television.
But things went up a notch for a TV reporter in Dunbar, West Virginia, when she was knocked down by a car during a live broadcast. Tori Yorgey, a reporter at WSAZ-TV, was struck by a car while speaking to an anchor who was at the studio.
A video of the incident was shared on social media. In the clip, Ms Yorgey was getting ready to report when an SUV slammed into her, sending her and her camera crashing down.
Within seconds of being slammed into, Ms Yorgey is heard saying, “I just got hit by a car, but I am okay.” The unconvinced anchor in the studio asked: “Are you sure you are okay?”
The woman, presumably driving the SUV, was heard apologising to Ms Yorgey, who reiterated “she was fine.” — ndtv.com
An Alberta baseball team hosted a Guinness World Record attempt involving an Australian shepherd jumping across the backs of 56 people.
The Edmonton Riverhawks, an amateur summer collegiate team in the West Coast League, hosted the record attempt for the most jumps between people by a dog in one minute during a June 14 game.
Chardonnay, a 4-year-old Australian shepherd belonging to dog trainer Jennifer Fraser, bounded across the backs of 56 fans arranged in a straight line in the outfield.
The record’s rules set a time limit of one minute, but Chardonnay managed to set the record in just 16 seconds.
Fraser said she trained Chardonnay to jump onto her back a few years ago, and her trick repertoire has since expanded.
“Jumping across backs is just one of her many skills,” Fraser said.
Firefighters and an animal control officer in San Francisco came to the rescue of a wild parrot that got its head stuck between panes of glass on a third-floor balcony.
San Francisco Animal Care & Control said on social media that Officer Mullen responded alongside the San Francisco Fire Department on Sunday when a parrot was spotted with its head stuck between two panes of glass on the balcony of an under-construction building.
Firefighters went to the roof of a building and lowered a ladder to the balcony, where they were able to slide the bird upward to free its head.
“They wrapped the bird in a towel and handed it off to Officer Mullen, who checked out the bird,” the post said. “Thankfully they were fine: their wings, legs and neck were all OK, so Officer Mullen released the bird.”
The parrot made its way to a nearby tree to rest on a branch. UPI.com
