Battling the Irish Elements
A meteorologist defeated by his own prop
Irish weather presenter Deric Hartigan was attempting to deliver a sunny but breezy morning forecast while holding a massively oversized, bright yellow umbrella. A sudden gust of wind caught the umbrella canopy like a ship's sail, violently yanking him right out of the camera's frame in an instant. When the broadcast cut back to the studio anchors, they were uncontrollably sobbing with laughter at his literal departure from the screen.
