Reporters have faced some scary situations when they have gone live. And KTLA’s Rachel Menitoff went through a horror scenario yesterday.
What happened? While reporting about our heatwave from Sherman Oaks, a massive flying cockroach landed on her exposed chest and neck before flying onto her mic.
While almost everyone watching this video was freaking out, she kept her composure. How? Who knows? But she deserves the Emmy!
In case you are wondering whether or not she felt the bug, here is what she told the station’s website: “I knew it was on me,” she said. “But I knew if I took notice of it, I wouldn’t be able to continue on with the report. So I said to myself, just get through this moment and then kind of shake it off.”
