BBC Breakfast presenter Naga Munchetty was forced to apologise to a guest live on air after she made a blunder while interviewing him about the New Orleans attack
BBC Breakfast's Naga Munchetty issued an on-air apology to a guest following a slight confusion. Co-hosting with Charlie Stayt on Thursday morning, they shared the devastating news that at least 15 people had tragically lost their lives and another 30 were injured in New Orleans due to a deliberate attack by a pickup truck driver on a crowd celebrating New Year's on Bourbon Street.
An improvised explosive device was discovered in the truck, and additional potential IEDs were found in the French Quarter, according to the FBI. During a conversation with eyewitness Scott Nelson, who was in a nearby nightclub when the terror unfolded, Naga experienced a blunder when she appeared to get confused.
Responding, the correspondent said: "Good Morning, I actually am still in New Orleans. The scene is directly behind me. I was in a nightclub probably 30 metres or so from the scene where the truck crashed and immediately we saw people fleeing the scene and law enforcements running towards it.", reports the Manchester Evening News.
He went on to describe his "frightening" experience and spoke about the measures taken at the time of the accident.
