What was the craziest moment in Live TV history?

This probably isn't the best cause it didn't happen live. But as a teenage gay boy born and raised in Orlando this hit me. The Pulse Night Club Attack, more specifically the aftermath. I remember waking up at around 5 am and not being able to got back to sleep. My head, stomach and legs were hurting. So I got up and went in the living room. Turned on the tv and a local station was on. A Mother of a victim was being interview. Her son and his boyfriend was missing. I believe her son didn't make sadly but his boyfriend did. They were replaying the video and it went back to the anchors who were the investigation reporter and the weather woman at the desk. Which strike me as really odd and then they said Terror Attack in Orlando. I woke up my mom and she was pissed at first and actually didn't believe me until she saw the tv. She got on her phone to make sure my family was ok. The non stop coverage was weird to me, I was 1 when 9/11 happen and I don't remember another event that had non stop coverage. Granted local, I don't know what the national networks were doing. But the 10 am press conference when Mayor Buddy Dyer announced the death count... Watching the blood donation was amazing. I think it was over a week after when local stations stop non stop coverage. They did extended coverage for a while afterwards. I remember all the coverage, watch the reporters I've seen for years lost for words and not smiling was chilling. Not to mention everyone at stores or whatever looking like they saw a ghost.
