An old video has resurfaced again sowing a weather presenter having an unfortunate experience live on airafter a?fire extinguisher he was using malfunctioned.?
Meteorologist Jude Redfield, was reporting on high temperatures?Louisville,?Kentucky during a?segment for?WDRB News?when the incident took place. The footage of the incident has been shared widely online.
The city had been witnessing a record heatwave at the time of Redfield¡¯s appearance, so the reporter in a lighter vein had a fire extinguisher on hand to allow him to ¡®extinguish¡¯ the heat.??
However, it all took a dramatic turn when?Redfield turned the extinguisher in the direction of the graphic displaying the temperatures and went to let it off. It made a ¡®pop¡¯ sound and the canister of the extinguisher fell to the ground.??
Smoke emerged as another part of the extinguisher fired backwards off-screen, and a shocked Redfield was left holding the nozzle of the device.
Thankfully,?Jude Redfield escaped the ordeal harmless.?
Though the entire ordeal was over in a couple of seconds, it ended up being re-posted online and garnered thousands of views after it was first shared in 2019.
Redfield described the incident as one of his ¡®top five moments in broadcast history¡¯, while Twitter users responded to the clip to express their amusement and note that the meteorologist had a lucky escape.??
Last month,?Canadian meteorologist Anthony Farnell was?delivering an update?about the conditions in Toronto when he was joined by his pet pooch in search of treats.
In a video that has gone viral on social media, the mini Goldendoodle is seen nonchalantly walking towards Farnell, the chief meteorologist for Global News, who was on air explaining the weather forecast in Canada on August 28.??
¡°Yes, Storm is in the building, getting some treats, walking on thin air,¡± Farnell can be heard saying in the viral clip where the dog is seen wandering around.??
