A Veteran Reporter Lost It Live On The Air Reporting On The Carnage In Oklahoma

Oh man this is hard to watch.

By now you know that the tornado that ripped through Oklahoma yesterday afternoon was devastating — “the most destructive tornado in the history of the world” — and one of the scariest things you could ever see. I can’t even imagine what seeing it up close and personal must be like, but this clip from KFOR in Oklahoma provides some insight into just how utterly heartbreaking it must be.

In the clip, veteran reporter Lance West is on the phone with two studio anchors describing what he’s seeing as he tours the area post-tornado. Then, he happens upon the bodies of third grade children being pulled from the rubble of a school building and just loses it. You may want to have some tissues handy before you watch/listen to this.
