WFLA-TV Live Report Interrupted By Car Crash (VIDEO)

Local television station WFLA's report on gas prices was taken to a new level on Wednesday, when two cars collided and spun out of control during a live shot.

WFLA-TV's Adrienne Pedersen was reporting live in front of a gas station when the two cars crashed. Though it was audible to viewers, Pedersen seemed to have no idea what had just happened.

A stunned Gayle Guyardo who anchored the program in WFLA's studio reacted to the crash. "Spun out right behind you, did you see that Adrienne?" Guyardo noted that those involved in the crash seemed to be ok and were getting out of the car. She later joked that the drivers were probably stunned "by the gas prices."

Geez, did i hear her say: 'probably shocked by the gas prices'? So are we going to see more of this in America when the price of gas goes up to $ 6 this year? I'll need to buy myself a Hot Air Balloon and use it instead. It should take me to work safely.

Maybe but Newt has some fuzzy math. can't remember when gas was a $1.89. Now clinton. nothing better than 89 cent gas. but under Bush it got up over $4. Haven't seen it below $2.50 in quite a looooooooooooong time.

Andrienne didn't even flinch. I don't think she was aware of what had happened.

A reporter is oblivious to a crash directly behind her, she glances at it and responds with an apathetic “uh, yeah… I see it now, but anyway…”, uses her amazing powers of ESP and x-ray/ultrasound vision to determine that “everyone”—as if she knows how many people are involved—are okay and then the other reporter actually cracks a lame joke when it’s quite possible people are hurt or even that a heart-attack or diabetic reaction is the cause of the crash.

We now return to the reality show ‘Attention Deficit Disorder’, already in progress.

Somewhere Bush is laughing knowing there was no way Obama was going to fix the mess that Bush spent 8 years creating.

We are still years away from fixing it. That is the sole reason why the GOP put forward their worst possible cast of clowns as candidates.

Are you saying that the GOP intentionally put forward these candidates because they didn't want to win the White House because of some sort of blame game?

On the whole I agree with you. But Obama has not addressed any of the actual causes to this mess. The biggest problem we are facing is the national debt and the devaluation of the currency. The rising gas prices is directly linked to the value of the dollar and what we are witnessing is the beginning of rising inflation.

Ron Paul has been warning us about the destruction of our currency for decades. It is the biggest threat we are facing.

Rubbish!

First, he had to stop the rot. As you may have noticed, the country was in a vastly greater mess than Bush had claimed, with 2 wars and Medicare extensions not included in the National Debt. He had also signed into law the 2009 budget with a $1.3 Trillion deficit which did not include much to help dig the economy out.

Next is working to fix it. In December 2008 his team discovered that it could cost up to $1.8 trillion to get the country back on its feet. Instead he had to work with an extra $865 billion.

While doing all this, he has had no help from the Republicans, who set as their "agenda" for the 2008-2012 term "to say No to anything which the President tried to do. McConnell was proud of that, and stated it before inauguration. Had the Republicans assisted, America would be much further forward than they are today, but without a filibuster-proof senate it was not possible to do everything he planned.

He has already reduced the rate of increase in National Debt substantially since the Bush years. You may remember that it took President Clinton 4 years to get that under control after the blow-out of 189% under Reagan.

With the major devaluation of the Euro, I don't think the US has much of a problem now. Also remember that a devaluation aids exporters and hinders importers, which can help bring down the National debt.

The current price of gas is not linked to the dollar. The USA produces light crude, and China and India have driven up the price that they pay by competitive demand, so it is being exported. Additionally, this is assisting speculators, who are driving the prices higher in expectation of even higher prices. It is also making your oil companies wealthier.

It's the difference between a reporter and a journalist, I guess.
If you think her job is to read her lines and remain cool and calm, she did great.
If you think her job is to actually find the news and report it, she was pathetic.
"Oh, yeah, it looks like everybody's all right." She wasn't that close to the crash that she could have known that, and she wasn't exactly hurrying over to verify. The crash was a hell of a loud one, and she didn't even turn around. This is not just somebody that is incurious about the news, this is somebody who is impervious to it.
Not exactly Brenda Starr.
