Sure, live television is great and has a lot of benefits and has helped the media in many ways, but there are downsides to it as there are to just about everything in the world.

The thing is that everyone has to do their job perfectly because there is no trying again or editing and you have to know how to handle things as soon as they happen before they become something really bad for everyone to see. Still, there are things you can’t predict and you can’t even fix.

According to complex.com, live TV can either be a network’s best friend or its worst nightmare, but no matter which way it goes, the unpredictability makes on-the-spot entertainment great.

Over the years, historical moments have been caught in real time, captivated the masses, shattered hearts worldwide, and, in some cases, have forever changed the course of history. Whether dealing with wars, natural disasters, or entertainment, it’s a breeding ground for the sensational.

When President John F. Kennedy’s assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, was gunned down while being transferred to a Dallas jail in front of a live national TV audience watching, everything changed for live tv.

It’s a moment that shocked a nation and altered the way news is covered around the globe. Since then, live cameras have been a gateway into history-in-the-making, with some of the most shocking events ever taking place right in front of viewers’ eyes.

There’s nothing better than a mid-afternoon car chase caught live on TV. Fox News captured a little more of the action than it wanted to when the driver, Jordan F. Romero, committed suicide as the network’s cameras were rolling. The grisly sight was seen by millions of people watching at home in what’s likely the biggest network blunder of the past 10 years.

The suicide came after Romero had gotten out of his car in the Phoenix desert. After an officer shot and missed him, he pulled out his own gun and took his own life.

When a disgruntled former police officer named Rolando Mendoza hijacked a tour bus in Manila, TV cameras amazingly caught the tense 10-hour standoff live.

The situation turned really grim when Mendoza’s brother was arrested after entering the bus without police permission. After witnessing his brother’s arrest on live TV while still holding the bus hostage, Mendoza began shooting the civilians.

In all, eight hostages were killed, along with Mendoza, and seven more were injured. Thankfully for TV viewers worldwide, much of the brutality happened inside of the bus, away from the public’s view.

One fateful day, Christine Chubbuck did what she had been doing for the past few years: She read the morning news live for WXLT-TV in Florida.

Except this time, in the middle of her segment, she went off-script and said, with an eerie calmness, “In keeping with Channel 40’s policy of bringing you the latest in blood and guts, and in living color, you are going to see another first: attempted suicide.” She then pulled out a gun and shot herself behind the right ear.
