During a live broadcast, just about anything can happen.
This was proved by the whole 'fuck her right in the pussy' fiasco of 2014.
I could go on for ages listing hilarious live bloopers, but some are far more shocking than others.

Recent footage from Paris shows a reporter, Anna Baranova, being slapped halfway through a live broadcast of a protest.
She was smacked by a masked man, but carried on like an absolute trooper.
Anna was reporting for Russia Today, and was wearing a helmet with the word 'Press' written on it - which may have made her a target.

Anna told RT: "I wasn't so much hurt as surprised - people actually come up and hit you on the head while you try to do your job. Wow."
People were protesting against proposed reforms to labour laws, and a few extreme groups had flocked to the protest.
After the slap, Anna is understandably shocked, but holds it together until the end of her segment. Well done.
