Soccer Journalist Somehow OK After Wall Falls On Him On Live TV

Soccer journalist Carlos Orduz said he’s escaped any major injuries after a terrifying incident while broadcasting on ESPN Colombia earlier this week. As Orduz and six others were on live TV, a wall of the set collapsed, falling on Orduz and crushing him into the desk.

Here’s the video, which we show to you because we know Orduz was not badly injured.

Carlos Orduz Set Collapse

That looked more painful than a tackle from Pepe

As bad as it looked, Orduz said he had no broken bones, only bruises. 

The incident has gone viral this week, including a spot in Stephen Colbert’s monologue on The Late Show on Thursday. Colbert praised Carlos Orduz for refraining from yelling profanities when he was struck and also joked about how the host of the show was seemingly unphased and did his best to continue on with the show. 

Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to go ensure the set to The18’s studio is secure and won’t fall on anyone.
