WTTG-TV reporter Tucker Barnes was providing live updates for stations around the country as a wall of what he described as sea foam poured over him. Barnes was on the boardwalk as Hurricane Irene hit the coast of Maryland He noted that he had immersed himself in organic material. That "organic material" was most likely the effects of raw sewage pouring into the water during the storm. "It doesn't taste great," he said. He said it had a sandy consistency and added, "I can tell you first-hand, it doesn't smell great." The foam is often a toxic mix of pollution and cyanobacteria. 60 mph wind gust sprayed the toxic mix across the reporter and the boardwalk and coated buildings. Bubbles and foam in the ocean can be caused by several other things, including oils from decomposing animals. LOL @ it tastes bad. Seriously. WTF is he doing in that stuff? I couldn't help but laugh at the stupidity.
Sure it's amusing, but really can't bring myself to watch the video. Not to be a ninny but really hope he's at a hospital right now. Kind of wondering exactly something like this can happen.
news reporters are so dumb.. what the heck is the point of standing on the board walk??? cant the camera man still get the same shot without the guy standing in the crap foam/? The studio guy even says dont stand there for our benifit.. what benifit? We get the same shot and see the crazy storm regardless if the guy is there or not. I guess the only benifit we get is its more entertaining.. ?? this goes for every single hurricane shot.. hurricane season usually means the dumb ass reporter telling everyone to stay in doors yet they try and find the most windy and dangerous spot so for their 10 mins of glory.. and so peopel can say OMG look at him/her!! meh
What a ****ing moron. He doesn't know what it is but he keeps bathing in it. He deserves all the **** he is going to get over this.
Yeah news reporters are stupid. Remember the news reporter in a canoe and a man crosses her shot walking in the water. Fail. I know we got some sports reporters who read and post here. Do yall ever go to the newsroom and say STFU whores?
These aren't exactly ADAs, fighter pilots or attending physicians; they might not have the professional discretion we think they have.
