Strong Earthquake Shakes studio – as Fox News reports on Mιssιпg Student live!
A Fox News journalist was live on air when a Los Angeles earthquake struck the studio and shook up her segment.
Southern California neighborhoods were hit by four earthquakes on Sunday afternoon.
Residents of Westlake Village and Malibu in Los Angeles county felt the jolt of earthquakes ranging from 2.5 magnitude to 4.1, according to the US Geological Survey (USGS) earthquake tracker.
Fox News correspondent Christina Coleman was giving a report about missing University of Pittsburgh student, Sudiksha Konanki, who vanished while on a spring break trip to the Dominican Republic, when a tremor hit the LA studio.
‘A spokesperson for the University of Pittsburgh told local media that university officials are in contact with her family…’ Coleman said before briefly pausing.
‘I’m sorry, I think we just experienced a minor earthquake here as I was reading the script.’
She then continued on with her reporting, ‘But yes, university officials are in contact with their family as well as authorities in Virginia as they offer their full support and efforts to find this woman and bring her home safely, Jon.’
Fox Report Weekend anchor Jon Scott commended Coleman for keeping calm during the shake.

‘Christina, you once had a bear wander through your live shot, and now you have got an earthquake in your live shot. You are a true professional. Good for you,’ he said.
Later on, Coleman described what was going on behind the scenes when the earthquake struck.
‘It was a good — I would say maybe 3 to 5 seconds of just, like, quick rattling there,’ she said.
‘And, you know, when I’m reading these scripts, you know, that I write, I have them in this teleprompter in front of me, and I’m hyper focused so when it just starts moving like that, you’re like, wait, what’s happening? And how long is this moving going to go on? And do I need to get up and go somewhere else? Well, fortunately, it stopped quickly.’
The first – and strongest – earthquake rocked Westlake Village from 11 kilometers away just after 1 pm PT.
Shortly after that, earthquakes of 2.5, 2.8 and 3.0 intensities struck within 13 kilometers of Malibu.
The most powerful shaking was felt in portions of Malibu, Agoura Hills, Camarillo and Thousand Oaks, according to the USGS.
Other places including downtown Los Angeles, Long Beach, Oxnard, Ventura, the San Clarita Valley, the San Gabriel Valley and the Simi Valley may have also mildly felt the natural disasters’ impact.

‘I’ve never felt the ground shake heavily beneath my feet until now, pretty wild,’ one man living in the area wrote on X.
According to the Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale that ranks how powerful earthquakes are, even the strongest 4.1 magnitude quake is considered ‘light.’
At this level, it is normal for people inside to feel a small shake, for dishes to rattle and for walls to creak, the scale explains.
