Down, but not out!

When it comes to LIVE TV...you just never what will happen. Proof of that came at 7:25 this morning on Newswatch 16 during a live cut-in in Good Morning America. I was doing a live shot on the overnight snowfall from the Bear Creek area. Then...all of sudden, BAM! Leckey went down. I totally wiped out and everything went into slow motion. I fell and knew I was live, but it seemed like it took me forever to get back up and get the words out to continue the shot. I recreated the incident in today's picture in case you missed it. If you did see the real deal, I hope you got a chuckle out of it. I know my coworker, Photographer Dave Jones, was laughing out loud. I was like, "Hello? Man down here!!" I'm just scared to see what the morning team does with that video, especially Joe.
