Standing at Lake Mead, Ginger gave a live report on Good Morning America during Thursday’s broadcast, all about the location’s incredibly low water levels.
Soon, the show switched over to a pre-recorded package that showed the meteorologist adventuring all over the area, showing off how dry much of it is.
At one point, she briefly got stuck in what looked like quicksand and told producers: “I might need help!”
She had to use her GoPro stick to help push herself out.
On Twitter, Ginger shared an extended look at her troubles in the scary environment.
Wearing a purple tank top and jeans, she was knee-deep in the suctioning mud.
Eventually, she was able to get one foot free but the other remained for a little bit.
“I might have to roll out of here,” she said, as she stepped with her free foot, only for it to get stuck again and the other to be freed.
The clip ended with her just looking over at her cameraperson and laughing as she continued to try to get herself out of the sticky situation.
“It’s not ALL dry at Lake Mead,” she captioned the clip, along with some laughing emojis.
Ginger added: “@DanManWX @SamWnek — watch me get stuck in the mud — always doing whatever it takes to get the shot.”
The night before, she’d shared a shot of her mud-caked boots, writing: “Made my way to and into Lake Mead a bit today… really looking forward to bringing y’all the story tomorrow on GMA.”
After watching the scary video, fans shared their fear for the meteorologist.
One viewer told her: “Be careful not to hurt yourself. Great job always.”
A second wrote: “Quicksand sucks, literally, glad you’re safe!”
A third commented: “Quicksand!! Our worst fear as kids has finally arrived!”
“The 80’s kid fear of quicksand finally strikes,” another agreed.
Others begged her to “please stay safe!”
Ginger’s latest TV report comes after she recently took to Twitter to call out a troll who made an inappropriate remark about her body.
After the meteorologist spoke about climate change on World News Tonight, she said she anticipated some blowback about the science.
She was shocked to see a tweet calling out not the information she shared, but about her physique, instead.
The troll tweeted: “As a favor to America and fans of @ABC and @abcnews..can I PLEASE buy you a bra so we are no longer bombarded by your two quintessential examples of DROOP? #itsnotjustadog.”
The Twitter user was likening Ginger’s breasts to Droopy the dog, the famed cartoon character with a notoriously droopy face, voiced first by Bill Thompson.
In reply to the internet bully, Ginger shared: “Omg I came on Twitter after my world news tonight hit talking climate change thinking I would have some tweets to navigate, some science to share.”
Despite her desire to educate, Ginger shook her proverbial head with a wide-eyed emoji, a laughing crying face, and even a playful wink following the end of her tweet: “but nope, this is what I see first.”
Along with spending time on GMA and World News Tonight, Ginger also recently appeared on The View.
With permanent co-hosts Joy Behar and Sara Haines both absent from the show last week, Ginger joined as a guest co-host, and fans showered the 41-year-old with praise.
One fan pushed for the GMA star to join The View permanently, writing: “Loved you on The View, Ginger.
“You should become a new cast member!”
