KRQE news anchor Jessica Garate says ‘I love how my days are unpredictable – that’s why I work in TV’.
In a recent show, while she was reporting on same-sex marriages, an unnamed person flew into shot and landed with a thud on the floor.
Ever the professional, Mrs Garate, who has been working for Albuquerque-based KRQE since 2004, maintained her composure throughout the incident and didn’t even flinch when the uninvited guest arrived at an alarming velocity.
This could be, of course, because she didn’t notice.
The person who made the unexpected appearance, a volunteer tasked with answering the phones at the station’s call center, didn’t appear to be hurt. She quickly got up and walked off.
Footage of the ‘faceplant’ has gone viral after being posted by Drew J. Lynch on YouTube, amassing over 13,000 views to date.
