The CNN anchor was speaking to the camera in the midst of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict on Sunday night when a rocket exploded close to where he was standing, causing the veteran journalist to duck for cover.



He was discussing the death toll - which includes ten members of the same family - on the Gaza trip as Israel continues to hit Hamas strongholds. So far, 96 Palestinians and three Israelis have died since the conflict began last Wednesday.

So I'm sure everyone on ATS has seen the fake CNN news report from the Gulf War, which is laughable quality these days.But the Anderson Cooper vid just seems weird to me, right after the explosion he laughs and then goes "that was a rather large explosion". Just seems like an off thing to say right after a huge rocket blast goes off? It sort of looks like a green screen job for ratings.Maybe I'm far too paranoid, I don't know.
