Live TV got incredibly real.

CtiTV anchor Erich Shih was found dead of an apparent suicide in his home in Taipei. His friend, a fellow anchor, was handed the news on live TV and was asked to report the story for viewers.

The female anchor somehow — through sheer determination and professionalism — manages to get through the report but you can tell it’s absolutely killing her inside.

I’m positive most professionals would have cracked in that moment.
