ravi's big scare


This is just awesome. The other night in Chicago, the local ABC news broadcast was interrupted by a minivan crashing into the studio from the street. Live, on the air. It's all captured on the video clip above, with news anchor Ravi Baichwal totally freaking out when he hears the crash. The best part is the look of absolute, genuine terror in his eyes. That's good television, Ravi.

I first heard about this over at TV Squad, which offers a few funny thoughts about what might've been going through Ravi's head when the minivan busted through: Minivan crashes into Chicago TV station during live news broadcast. Luckily, nobody was injured in the accident. The driver of the vehicle in question, Gerald Richardson, apparently has some personal problems. He has been charged with felony damage to property: Driver faces felony in studio crash.
