Had a news livestream glitch out during a live tornado report

I was watching this local news channel in Wichita last month covering a tornado warning and the weather guy was pointing at the radar. Suddenly his green screen froze but the audio kept going. He was still talking about the storm but the map behind him was just a still image of a shopping mall from earlier. Then the camera operator accidentally zoomed in on his coffee mug sitting on the edge of the desk. The station cut to commercial like 10 seconds later but someone clipped it and posted it online. Has anyone else seen a news blooper that was this bad live?

I read somewhere that a station in Florida had a similar glitch...

Wait, they let a glitch go on for 15 minutes? That's wild, @nancy_king29. I can't believe no one hit the kill switch faster.

Yeah @theas28, guess they were waiting for ads to finish...
