Anderson Cooper Shaken by Explosion

Anderson Cooper is one of the most widely known news anchors on CNN, particularly for his show Anderson Cooper 360^p. This week, Cooper makes the list by virtue of a shocking video caught live on TV.

Though the distance was not specified, the sound of the explosion is clearly audible in the video clip.

 Jamie Sadlowski Smashes Simulator on Golf Channel

Jamie Sadlowski is well-known in golfing circles as a long drive expert. So, he would be the obvious candidate for trying out Golf Channel’s simulator live on TV. That’s what Sadlowski was called to do but he ended up smashing the netting on the simulator, leaving it with a hole in the middle. The ball landed on the other side of the screen, showing how great Sadlowski is at hitting a long drive with power.
