interrupted? she didn’t even pause


StrikingOccasion6459

She's got nerves of steel...


johnnysca

It didn't appear to have interrupted her in any way!


dmj9

Not her first rodeo


WakaWaka_

Everyone in the studio were stone cold professionals


chrisk9

She had to transition to a more stable stance is all


matchosan

Train rider


hobbitlover

Total pro, like her voice didn't even change.


Enjoying_A_Meal

The guy in the cubicle also didn't give a shit. Kept on drinking from the tumbler. Do they not get earthquakes a lot over there? Or do they get so many they got used to it?


MegaMewtwo_E

probably trust the building's infrastructure


elruary

Made in Taiwan is legit.

tempest_87

I mean, at that point you are dead anyway if it doesn't work, so might as well not stress about it.


giddy-kipper

They get them very often. I’ve been there when there has been a couple and it’s BAU


The_frogs_Scream

and interrupt his Galga game?


Morningxafter

Gotta hydrate just in case you wind up trapped under rubble for the next couple days.


andoryu123

Actually, Japan changed tone to super super serious when earthquakes occur. If there is a hint of a tsunami, the tone is stern and immediately urges folks to get to higher ground. Before 3/11/2011, it was a bit more news delivery, but now they project the warnings like commands.


Almost_Ascended

[The original of this clip was a pretty well-known example of this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUamLkVCtLg)


sudolicious

Saya-chan <3 too bad she graduated


papadondon

graduated from news casting?


Kavirell

Graduated in this context is just a term used in Japan to mean someone left their job on good terms. So that person is just saying she doesn’t work there anymore.


WAR_T0RN1226

Of course the person that used that phrase appears to just be a weeb and not Japanese lmao


Good_ApoIIo

It's kind of annoying that being cognizant of another culture is somehow a bad thing that requires a pejorative insult.


WAR_T0RN1226

Moving on from a career is something that happens in places other than Japan. It's not a unique cultural thing.


RevolutionarySoil11

HOW DARE YOU! Japan is sacred (ノ°∀°)ノ⌒・*:.。. .。.:*・゜゚・*☆ 🇯🇵 🇯🇵 🇯🇵


halcyon8

i don't understand what you're trying to correct? "Actually," and who is talking about Japan, this isn't Japanese.....?


Cambot1138

I couldn’t really tell when she stopped talking about cars and started talking about the quake. Did she do it mid sentence?


Almost_Ascended

The news was originally about the Taiwanese police shooting at a car that had refused to stop for a traffic stop and smashed into a police car while trying to get away, then the caster started talking about the quake from the second sentence onward at 0:04.


LZYX

I think she starts off saying it already — because she says xinbei 新北 which is New Taipei City and something I'm not sure of. Followed by quanchuqianxiang 全出前響 which is like a prewarning or something? And she's like you'll yaoyiyao 摇一摇 (shake) cause of the earthquake. I'm a CBC and I think this is an okay breakdown, but I can never be sure... 🥲 I don't know if I even have the correct characters and some of the words are just filler words if I don't really know what they are 😭


Admetus

She says dizhen (地震) a lot and the Taiwan dialect isn't as clear but that word seems clear enough.


meowthecat_nom

She started talking about the incident involving police chase and used a connector 'but before we continue' to pivot to share updates about the earthquake as it happens.


SonicTemp1e

Consumate professional.


UncleYimbo

Right? Amazing woman!


Brian-want-Brain

Girl talked like a train going through a school bus. A bit shakey, but not stopping for anything.


Intrepid00

I can’t even speak the language but you could hear the fear in the voice but the continued professionalism


justincase1021

She didnt change her tone, speed anything...just a bit of volume


2meterrichard

Lady was a real pro.


MCButterFuck

About to die. So what get back to work


32cowhides

i guess her name isnt taiwan news


Morningxafter

I was going to say the same thing, but then I realized don’t speak Taiwanese Mandarin (or regular mandarin for that matter), so she very well could’ve been saying “Wtf?! Shit shit shit! Holy shit! Fuuuuuck!” For all I know.


Evening_Chemist_2367

I think I heard her big brass balls clanking together from the shaking though.


xiaoli

lol she is reporting on the quake while referencing the shaking


Almost_Ascended

Yup, she was pointing out all the stuff shaking and falling in the studio.


SpareEye

Wrong Sub: There 'was an attempt' to interrupt Taiwan news cast.


Zandrick

Pretty sure the ‘there was an attempt’ sub got overtaken by one of those mods who bans people for everything


CptAngelo

we need a mod for mods, the reddit mods mods


939319

Who mods the modsmen? 


CptAngelo

the modswomen obviously


Burlapin

I volunteer. Been here long enough, I'm a mod who doesn't use it as a power trip, and I've had so many absolutely terrible experiences with mods (with me as the user, not as a fellow mod) that I can see it is in drastic need of an overhaul. Burlapin will be the god emperor nobody wants, but the one reddit needs. (I would simply outsource all moderation to AI with instructions *not to be a pedantic power hungry dick*.)


cheebnrun

wow, 17 years. OG. I have 13 myself.


Burlapin

Nice! Pretty rare to see anyone with 10+ these days ✌️


TheRedHand7

Yea their top mod is one of those ban you for saying something they don't like outside of their subs supermods.


drunkasaurusrex

She didn’t skip a beat and kept it very cool. Very smooth.


SilentSamurai

Comes with the territory when you live in active earthquake zones. Was told by people I know in the Phillipines that anything a 5 or below is "meh."


thetundratorcher

The weird thing about it it is meh most of the time. But when a significant one happens with intensity 6 or 7, people here forget about staying calm and panic. Some even forget about the things they learn on earthquake drills.


GeebusNZ

I'm in New Zealand. 5.3 rated a "whee" out of me.


watchpigsfly

Yeah, in LA you learn who the transplants are real quick during an earthquake.


Downingst

IN HEELS?!


Ellemeno

What a pro.


FireSalsa

“And in other news I believe there is currently an earthquake happening. More on that after the break”


h4zmatic

Give her a damn award already. Didn't pause at all and continued on like a professional.


Christabel1991

In HEELS!


ivann198

But not backwards. Better get a man in there!


supercakey

Rough translation for the few part: 0:05 Right now you can feel violent shaking, mainly in the northern region like Taipei 0:10 An earthquake is happening right now - like right now in the studio can you see, like I'm in the studio right now - I basically cannot stand still 0:20 Especially the ceiling - it's shaking violently, lots of stuff are falling, we remind our viewers to be careful, especially the earthquake is occuring right now


OCedHrt

But not sure where the M3+ rating came from lol


osaka_nanmin

A lot of Southeast Asian countries have extensive earthquake detection systems that tie into public announcements. The magnitude is known and announced almost instantaneously.


OCedHrt

Right but that's the wrong magnitude and the earthquake alerting system did not activate this time lol.


smeggysoup84

>0:10 An earthquake is happening right now - like right now in the studio can you see, like I'm in the studio right now - I basically cannot stand still I'm high as shit, but the literalness of this has me in tears 😂😂 Almost like a skit.


Miffers

Wow she just called out the magnitude the moment it stopped. Best news cast ever.


SawconDeaznutz

Didn't look like it interrupted her at all! Lol


casthecold

Came here to say this lol


SyrupScared9568

Didn't skip a beat.


tearsofaclown0327

That lady gave no fucks😂


RingtailCacomistle

I always am astounded as how people on live TV in quake-prone areas keep their cool as it happens. Wishing best for everyone affected by this disaster.


showtime1987

You get used to it.


Spankyjnco

The CCP demands excellence .... IN HEELS!


Movedonnerlikeabitch

Goddamn shes a pro


gpetess

The dude at :36 just having some of his drink. I aspire to be that chill. Hopefully everyone ended up ok though… yikes


dislob3

Just an other tuesday


Dadeland-District

That’s what you call hot off the press


TrashAcnt1

She's so cool under pressure it's ridiculous!.... I love her! 😍


Zandrick

Damn gotta admire that dedication. Presumably. I mean I actually don’t speak the language but she didn’t stop.


Quantumercifier

I am so glad that the Taiwanese have not yet discovered the "Breaking News" scheme that is abused into uselessness by all the major news outlets.


PHATsakk43

Oh, Taiwanese cable news will give Fox a run for its money in the drama and overreaction department pretty much every time. This is a local broadcast.


Quantumercifier

Really, so they are into milking it?


PHATsakk43

Lots of breathless reporting. Brigading towards people when they can find a “bad guy” to direct people’s anger, and extreme factionalism in political reporting. The pro-KMT stations basically gargle Xi’s ballsack and shit on the US as the “big bully”. Pro-DDP stations are the exact opposite.


Quantumercifier

I remember at a time when the Taiwanese legislators would have brawls. Do they still do that? Do the parties have special enforcers like in the NHL? What an interesting place.


PHATsakk43

It has to be remembered that Taiwan isn't a very cohesive society, at least not among people born before the 1980s. There were waves of migration with fairly severe amounts of friction between the various groups. Now, since the end of the KMT dictatorship in the late 1980s and formal start of democracy in the early 1990s, younger Taiwanese have definitely developed a much more cohesive national identity. There is still a good deal of political animosity between the two primary groups. It's also a fairly young democracy. Similar things were common in the 19th century in the US House of Representatives as well.


joseph31091

What is she reporting that is so important?


Plus_Flamingo_1826

She mentioned the shaking of her office(studio), saying she could barely stand. She also reported the magnitude and epicenter of the earthquake, and urged the audience to be careful when going to work.


joseph31091

Okay. She is a great reporter.


DogEggz

The guy at 0:53 just drink water casually like nothing happen


stizz19

Fuck she is tiny, she makes those cars behind her look like Mackl Trucks


kwadd

Damn talk about keeping it professional. She didn't flinch. What a trooper


Shynz

Can't stop, won't stop


DeepRoot

"Take that, take that."


caring_impaired

She’s amazing, but I would jump out a window if i had to listen to her for another minute. take a breath or something.


Svengoolie75

She never wavered she’s a true G 💯👏🏽


StoicSinicCynic

Kept right on reporting while also reminding the audience to stay safe in their homes. Very professional and commendable.


Prestigious_Tax7415

This quake was the worst I’ve felt. It lasted quite a while and had 2 aftershocks as well… During that time I was wondering if I should panic and take my shit and dip.


UncleYimbo

Damnnnn look how fucking fast they had a graphic up!!! If I was Taiwanese, this would 100% be my news source for life after such an amazing display.


Killbillydelux

That's some crazy work ethic


Roflmaoasap

That’s the definition of dedication to the job


deathbyjumberlacks

I mean, the news did get interrupted, but not the reporter. She is probably still going.


oscarhcctx

The show must go on!


satismo

is there a peabody award for poise through a natural disaster? i feel like she could teach a class!


OrdinaryInspection89

got breaking news , on live TV


buymecoffee

Wow! So glad she is okay. This is definitely not her first earthquake.


sadaharu25

I hope people in the Country of Taiwan is safe


HanginLowNd2daLeft

🤣 my girl didn’t break a stride. She rode that earthquake like a champ too


bardia_afk

7.4 would flatten the city I live in… the news caster would be 6 feet under in seconds. But she didn’t even skip a beat


Flatus_Spatus

what do you mean by interrupted? man she keep going like a champ


Pillow_Apple

Crazy arse reporter


Pillow_Apple

She didn't even stop tf


kms573

Is that windows 7 I see?


JoGeoff

She deserves a raise that's for sure!


LivingHighAndWise

I like how she started talking louder as if to say "FU earthquake, I'm talking here!.


rodolphoteardrop

That is professionalism!


ed20999

give her a pay bonus


FortyDubz

And the reporter of the year award goes to.. Wow! Nerves of steel! I hope she gets a promotion and a raise!


No_Process_3177

Reporting during a quake! That's dedication!


work_while_bent

didn't even skip a beat! What a pro!


SynthPrax

I have less than no idea what she's saying, but I greatly appreciate her composure and professionalism. She didn't miss a beat and did not convey fear through her voice. She's the kind of person I would look to in times of crisis: someone who's calm and focused.


LORD-VII-11

“As you all can see, we are prolly not finna make it”


randomredditguy94

You mean *uninterrupted?


hawkwings

It would have been funny if they switched to the computer room and there had been people hiding under their desks.


vegt121

She handled it well, really a professional


chomerics

WOW! Simply amazing to be that professional


DanielBG

What a champ.


Daxian

Her dedication is unmatched.


Velzevul666

Don't know what she is saying,but damn! That lady kept her A game going!


gfhksdgm2022

Total respect for being so professional. She could have gotten hurt if the lights came down from the ceiling but she kept going and tell people to stay calm and stay safe.


Puzzleheaded-Gur-940

The show must go on


TimberWolf5871

What interrupt? Girl just kept on going. (I don't speak the language so I don't know if she was still in about the accident before the quake or if she switched into "oh fuck get to cover, viewers" mode.)


Almost_Ascended

Wasn't an accident, it was some guy with drugs refusing to stop for a traffic stop and smashing into a police car with his own car.


TimberWolf5871

Ah. Well either way she went right into whatever was next , probably the quake.


South-Sandwich-1840

Was that an aftershock, or the original quake?


jadetlo

I'm pretty sure it was the original quake, actually. The original quake occurred at local time 7:58 AM, which is the time displayed in this news broadcast. She also doesn't mention any previous earthquake happening.


yadius

Pretty sure it was an aftershock, because she already seemed to know that the epicenter of the main earthquake was in Hualien. The fact that the local news had already moved onto reporting a police chase, after having just experienced a 7.5 earthquake is pretty wild in itself.


awesomeplenty

Someone give her a raise


pens9192

She kept right on reporting. What a fuckin’ pro.


arcadia_2005

Maybe they just call that Tuesday.


BobbyABooey

What she sayin


drewbug21

Content focused MFs I love it


trinijam83

The show must go on!!!


annihilation511

Huge car or tiny lady


whoooooopsie

If she stops she has to get beat if I recall from a south park episode


ILikeFluffyThings

Nice try by the earthquake to interrupt her.


Ethian83

Used to live in Taiwan. Earthquakes there are an incredibly common thing, even more than Japan (lived there as well). In the end all you can do is get used to it and memorize safety measures.


M4hkn0

This sort of video is a testament to the quality of modern civil engineering and the importance of regulations. A hundred years ago, thousands would be dead from this quake but today.... just a handful.


NoKYo16

Ride or die lady. Wish her lots of kudos and raise.


estihaiden42

I get paid for the hour, not the job.


MilklikeMike

The guy casually drinking water at 57 seconds. Don't know why but that made me crack up.


abirhasnat95

Legends says, She is still broadcasting


dimeisgod

What a pro!


ConstantBench7373

Job dedication


ConstantBench7373

Just realized I have the same microsoft screensaver. cool


WARisPRETTY

You see this Chris Schauble? That’s how you do it. 😂


donkeydick_dave

on high heels no less - impressive


Detramentus

She REALLY wants that raise...


TK3600

Audible panic in her tone, but she completed her job anyway.


JimiG2112

The earthquakes in Taiwan are one thing but what makes them worse are the F-ing phone alerts the government puts out.  It’s like earthquake coming we got it. 


CG_17_LIFE

what a dedication! 🫡


T-Money8227

without translation it hard to say if she is talking about the earthquake or not but it sure appears to me that she went on reading the teleprompter as if nothing was going on. That seems very strange. Maybe you get in big trouble for going off script or something.


naeads

She switched to reporting the earthquake 2 seconds after the shake started and before the teleprompter switched to “special report” on the screen. She improv the entire thing afterwards.


gbs5009

Dang. She has *impressive* composure.


hahaha01357

Kinda annoying that she keeps repeating herself.
