While covering the floods, the Pakistani reporter got ‘swept away’ on live TV; netizens react to the video.

A video has recently gone viral on the internet. In it, a Pakistani reporter stands in waist-deep water, reporting on the ongoing torrential rains and resulting floods. As the broadcast continues, the water rises to neck level, and during the live telecast, the reporter is unexpectedly swept away by the strong current. Many viewers initially thought the video was AI-generated, but it was real: the reporter delivered his report while struggling in fast-moving floodwaters.

The reporter goes live on TV, reporting about the floods in Pakistan.

A live report from Rawalpindi took a horrifying turn when a reporter was swept away by massive floodwaters while covering the situation near Chahan Dam. The harrowing moment was caught on camera and has since gone viral on the internet. In the video, which is now viral, the reporter can be seen in waist-deep and soon neck-deep waters, trying to deliver his report. With the current growing stronger, he was seen struggling to stay upright. Only his head and hand clutched the microphone, which was visible, and he was suddenly dragged under. The video was shared by Al Arabiya English on X and shook netizens.
