Dramatic moment CNN star Anderson Cooper is forced to urgently evacuate set live on air during missile attack

Anderson Cooper and his CNN team were forced to evacuate live on air while broadcasting from Israel.

The network star was discussing the ongoing conflict in the Middle East with the network's chief international correspondent, Clarissa Ward, and Jerusalem correspondent Jeremy Diamond, when sirens started to ring early Monday morning.

'I should just say that we're now hearing an alert,' Ward said as alarms blared in the background.

Cooper informed the audience that they were all getting an alert saying Israeli forces expected a missile to hit their area in 10 minutes.

'So these are these are the alerts that go out on all of our phones when you're in Israel. It's a ten-minute warning of incoming missiles or something incoming from Iran,' Cooper said.

'So now the location we're in has a verbal alarm telling people to go down into bomb shelters. So we have about a ten-minute window to get down into a bomb shelter.'

The CNN star's voice wavered as he asked his crew if it would be possible to continue their broadcast as they evacuated.

'And we'll continue to try to broadcast from that, that bomb shelter. And even if we can, on the way down,' Cooper said.

“Did the poofter pee his panties?”

From his reaction in the video it looks like he did both. Should have worn his depends.

Sure it’s not fake like the 1991 skit where the guy slaps on a gas mask?

Just had a flashback to Gulf War Desert Storm, Bernard Shaw, Peter Arnett and the Scud missile alerts.

Can’t help but wonder if it is like the hurricane reports from down here, where behind the reporter as he or she appears to be battered by the storm, the locals stroll casually by in flip flops, barely getting wet, hair neatly in place, as they head for Twistee Treat.

I’m surprised he didn’t drop his pants, get on all fours, and point his butt towards the incoming direction.

Actually that seems like a fair exchange. We blow up their nuclear facilities which are a useless appendage of their globalist empire fantasies, and they do us the favor of blowing up a useless appendage of one of our globalist imperial fantasies.

My Captain used to say: someday your life may come down to two choices, you can DIP or DWM…(die in place or die while moving) it may be your only choices so make it carefully.

Stand tall Coop, be a proud DIP.

Yeah, same here. There was one live broadcast where the reporter was outside a prepared bomb shelter, reporting live with sirens wailing in the area - and the video feed suddenly went to static. It turned out that CNN's Saudi hosts in that location told the reporter (I forget his name now) several times to take cover, then finally unplugged the camera and tossed him into the shelter.
