What A Way to Make a Splash

In 2014, a Dutch reporter made waves during a live interview aboard a boat. While chatting with the mayor of a town in the Netherlands, things took a slippery turn. After asking her first question, she reached for a nearby line, but instead of steadying herself, she lost her footing and tumbled off the boat! Talk about a sinking feeling on live TV.

The internet quickly chimed in, with some YouTube commenters speculating that the whole thing was staged. Whether it was real or a publicity stunt, one thing’s for sure—this reporter made a splash in more ways than one!
