drolnhoj Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 (edited) Just watched ITV news where a lady reporter was reporting from St Pancras. There was a bit of a bang and over her right shoulder a pedestrian was knocked over by a motor bike. She didn't notice, the camera man didn't and the newsreader didn't either. They just continued with the story. Glad I wasn't the pedestrian or the bike rider Edited January 18, 2015 by drolnhoj typo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goon Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 I saw it too. It didn't take long to get posted on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=653RNqKdNXM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gimp27 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 It was. Nothing like missing a story while it's happening. Ha, yes. the two lads with the red hats on were looking at the camera, then turned and dashed over to the scene. It just shows that they were more interested in the people involved, rather than being on telly!! Godd on them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister M Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Funnily enough I was watching the news & I didn't spot it. You're very observant! Just watched the Youtube clip & it looked quite serious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just watched the Youtube clip & it looked quite serious To be honest I didn't realise at first what had happened. I re wound it because I had heard the bang, and then realised what had happened. Update - reporter has just tweeted that pedestrian and biker are both OK. Edited January 18, 2015 by drolnhoj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteMorris Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I saw it too, as it happened. I can't make my mind up whether it was a case of consummate professionalism on the part of the reporter, or a case of being totally oblivious to what was going on around her. I was surprised the news anchor made no comment about it either. The showed it this morning on GMB. The fella that was hit by the biker, immediately sprung to his feet. They reported that the rider was fine too. But it did look nasty as it happened. I couldn't believe my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorky15 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Ouch! bet that hurt. Looks like the motorcyclist was more interested in the camera than looking where he was going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geared Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I think the reporters are trained to ignore whats going on around them and deliver their piece to camera. because out in public you're bound to get tons of people who think it's funny to try and distract/annoy the reporter and spoil their work.
