VIDEO: Most Shocking Deaths Seen on LIVE TV! They Couldn’t Stop Them in Time!

Live television has been a huge change in the way we perceive the media today and it brought on a lot of good things, but also bad things. Since it’s live, there is no way of editing any of it, everything happens in synchronicity. If you are doing it now, the entire country or even world is seeing at the same time.

This means that if you say something stupid everyone hears it, if you do something weird everyone sees it and if something way to graphic were to happen there is no way of stopping it from being seen by everyone.

According to ranker.com, from the moment TV sets began rolling into homes following World War II, it was inevitable that at some point, someone would get killed on air or die on live television.

This inevitability indeed became a reality, and deaths have been sneaking their way into viewers’ homes around the world ever since—everything from suicides, assassinations, terrorist attacks, and disasters.

We’ve compiled some of the most infamous on this list, from the suicides of Christine Chubbuck and Jodon F. Romero, both of whom shot themselves on live TV, to the shooting deaths of reporter Alison Parker and cameraman Alan Wade, to horrific videos of the World Trade Center attacks.

Troubled TV reporter Christine Chubbuck took her own life before a live TV audience during an airing of her morning community affairs shows Suncoast Digest.

Christa McAuliffe was selected from a pool of more than 11,000 applicants for NASA’s Teacher in Space Project to become the first civilian sent into space. It would have been her task to communicate to students while in orbit. Unfortunately, on January 28th, 1986, McAuliffe never even got the chance to exit Earth’s atmosphere.

In August of 2015, Roanoke, VA reporter Alison Parker and her cameraman Adam Ward were broadcasting from Smith Mountain Lake near Moneta, interviewing chamber of commerce director Vicki Gardner. Bryce Williams, a disgruntled, recently fired employee of Parker and Ward’s station WDBJ approached the pair with his cell phone in one hand and a pistol in the other.

Perhaps the most famous on-air death in history, JFK assassin Lee Harvey Oswald was murdered by Jack Ruby in front of national news cameras broadcasting Oswald’s escort from the Dallas Police Headquarters to an armored car.

During a live airing of Studio B (now retitled Shepherd Smith Reporting) on Fox, news helicopters followed the high-speed chase between Arizona Highway Patrolmen and Jodon F. Romero, who had stolen a car.

Reportedly frustrated with his HMO coverage, cancer and HIV patient Daniel Jones parked his pickup truck in the middle of an L.A. freeway, set his vehicle on fire (with his dog still inside) and then committed suicide by placing the barrel of a shotgun under his chin and firing.

Tommy Cooper’s death (British comedian) occurred during a broadcast of Live from Her Majesty’s, a variety show that aired Sunday nights on ITV. While performing one of his famous bits, Cooper suddenly collapsed into a sitting position.
