A CBS News anchor fought back tears while reporting on Thursday’s fatal helicopter crash in the Hudson River near New York City.
During CBS New York’s live coverage of the crash, anchor Kristine Johnson learns in the middle of her reporting that all six passengers on the helicopter – three adults and three children – died in the crash. Johnson fought through a wave of emotions and was audibly tearful as she continued her coverage.
“This never, ever escapes me when you have to cover these types of stories on what you believe to be, will be, a normal day and it turns out to be anything but,” she said.
