2007 news broadcast accident
On May 15, 2007, while the news was broadcasting a storm in San Juan, a broadcast accident happened, which was because the reporter got a another call from his friend while he was about to connect the call to the news station. However, when the reporter said 'Why?'. 'I don't know', and 'Bro I didn't ask', the timing fitted right in, which it became a meme after it spread in the internet.
News anchor: The storm situation in San Juan is getting worse. There were also many injuries due to the fire department's late response. Reporter Luke,
Reporter: (in a annoyed voice) Why?
News anchor: (Breath in) What was the reason for the late response by the fire department?
Reporter: I don't know.
(5 seconds silence)
News anchor: What?
Reporter: Bro I didn't ask.
News anchor: (ends call) Ok, it seems like there is a loose connection to reporter Luke. We apologize for the inconvenience caused.
RBN later sent a apology video after the news ended, and deleted the part of the video from their website.
The reporter also apologized, saying it was his accident for picking up his friend's call while reporting the news.
