What’s the craziest thing you’ve seen unfold live on television before it could be taken off-air/censored?

The Challenger exploding when I was in elementary school. The whole school was watching it on tv in the auditorium.

“George Bush doesn’t care about black people.” – Kanye West

I will never forget the look on Mike Myers’ face.

The LA riots were really brutal to watch on television. They tried to not show any graphic violence but sometimes it just happened. You saw a lot of footage of people looting and running up and down streets throwing things and hitting people but nothing really bad until those men caught Reginald Denney stranded in his truck at an intersection.

They smashed the truck windows and dragged him by his hair, I think, out of the truck and just stomped the ever loving crap out of him and the camera never moved. It was a news helicopter shooting down so you could see the entire intersection and it legitimately looked like you were seeing a man beaten to death right on television.

And then when you thought it was over there was that kick and you just knew he was dead. You just knew no one could survive that and it was so upsetting and terrifying to see that kind of unbridled violence take place live right in front of you.

And then came the helpers. A few men, one of them a very large black man came to Denney’s rescue and the attackers scattered like stray, vicious dogs and they helped Denney. They saved his life.

It was only a few minutes but until 9/11 it was one of the most dramatic things I’d ever seen on television.

Probably the reporter in a canoe covering how bad the floods were, and then two dudes walk through the puddle she’s floating in.

Runner up to the guy pretending there were hurricane force winds and bracing himself while yelling into the mic. Same thing happened, some dudes just kind of walked by in the background.

Both times the poor reporters had to pretend it didn’t happen, and both times it was absolutely hilarious

I wish I could provide the link.

But it was a NHL game and one player fell and his skate cut the jugular of his opponent.

Blood squirted out like a hose, staining the ice, sending him immediately to the locker room and a full recovery was had.

When I went to look it up the next day, I clicked on the first thing without checking and ended up with my first computer virus.

Apparently, sick fucks like to fuck with other sick fucks looking up someone else’s demise.

Lesson learned.
