Anderson Cooper faced a scary scenario live on air.
The CNN correspondent was broadcasting from Tel Aviv, Israel, alongside reporters Clarissa Ward and Jeremy Diamond around 3 a.m. local time on June 23 when an alarm went off indicating a possible incoming missile attack.
As Ward told cameras, “I should just say that we’re now hearing an alert.”
At which time Cooper pulled out his phone, noting, “These are the alerts that go out on all of our phones when you’re in Israel.”
“It’s a 10-minute warning of incoming missiles, or something incoming from Iran,” he continued. “So now the location we’re in has a verbal alarm telling people to go down into bomb shelter. So we have about a 10-minute window to get down into a bomb shelter, and we’ll continue to try to broadcast from that that bomb shelter.”
After swapping microphones the trio begin to head inside and down into a protected area.
