ITV was forced into a sudden change during their live coverage of the World Cup Group F match between Sweden and Tunisia, as presenter Semra Hunter spoke out on the dramatic scenes.
Lightning Strikes Cause Disruption
ITV were forced to retreat inside their TV studio during live coverage of Monday's World Cup Group F match between Sweden and Tunisia. It came after multiple lightning strikes in Manhattan, New York.
Shortly after Sweden beat Tunisia 5-1 and ITV returned from an advert break, presenter Semra Hunter said: “Speaking of dramatic scenes, if that wasn’t dramatic enough for you, take a look at this.
“Lightning strikes the top of One World Trade Centre right here in Manhattan, not once but twice! Because of that, we’ve had to come inside!”
Pundit Jobi McAnuff said: “We are quite brave at the best of times, but I think after seeing that it is best to run for cover and be safe in here.”
