The 4.8 magnitude earthquake that shook the Northeast Friday could be observed shaking the Fox Business Network’s set as Stuart Varney was live on the air.
Bill Hemmer and Dana Perino with Fox’s America’s Newsroom displayed the earthquake’s impact that was recorded on video.
“So, we are on the 12th floor in midtown Manhattan. Our colleague at Fox Business, Stuart Varney, does a show when we do a show, and he’s on the ground level. When this occurred, you and I did not perceive it,” Hemmer stated to Perino.”Some individuals there did. Jack Keane was on the air, and this is what occurred.”
The video displayed Varney concluding his interview with retired General Jack Keane and transitioning to his next story as visibly noticeable shaking can be seen rocking the studio.
“Okay, That’s quite evident, I would say!” Hemmer remarked. “I don’t know if it lasted very long — it did not seem to be from the clip. Perhaps just a few seconds of shaking down there.”
Perino was impressed that Varney continued as if nothing was happening.
“And perfect ‘stiff British upper lip’ manners,” Smith commented. “Stuart Varney was not rattled in any way, he just proceeded on.”
The quake occurred at 10:23 a.m. with an epicenter in Lebanon, New Jersey. The U.S. Geological Survey initially stated the quake to be 4.8 in magnitude before changing it to 4.7, then reverting back to 4.8.
CNN stated, “The light quake was shallow, just below the surface at 5 km depth, which made it simpler for residents in affected areas to feel the shaking. Initial reports indicate shaking was widely felt in New York City, Philadelphia and Washington, DC.”
Officials cautioned that aftershocks could shake the Northeast throughout the day.
