A 5.1-magnitude earthquake struck the city of Xichang, in the Chinese province of Sichuan on October 31 with a series of strong tremors, according to seismic agencies.
When a local Sichuan television station started to rattle and the staff started to panic, anchorman He Kun remained calm and insisted on continuing to broadcast the show.
„Wait, wait, don’t panic — let’s finish the broadcast,“ He Kun said on a video that has now become viral on social networks.
Social media users immediately named the anchor the calmest and the most cold-blooded TV host in the world.
