She was clearly choked up.
I think she had to switch her mic off for a second. I felt for her.
I know I certainly would not want to go on a live on-air broadcast and announce the death of a friend and colleague, training or not. 
I'm feeling empathy for her because when I watched her face I could see that she was trying to be professional and hold it together in her "Breaking News" announcement. An announcement that she wouldn't be able to avoid making.
I did get a catch in my throat watching her though, because I'm a little extra sensitive right now.

Between Trump and his irresponsible, fear-mongering tweets, the crash of the Egyptian plane and the death of Morley Safer, this day is surely shaping up to suck.
I think I'll go outside, the sun is shining..
