Pretty scary. The bridge washes away in North Carolina during a live report in which the photog and reporter was just standing. Recovering the from the initial shock the reporter and photog carries on. I think the natural instinct cause her voice to jump, but she carried on.

I particularly like this example from ABC7 in Chicago, when a car crashed through the window of their streetside studio. The anchor is visibly shocked initially, but it’s impressive not only how quickly he recovers from it, but also how he’s able to more or less continue as normal.
