Bomb Explodes Right Near Anderson Cooper During Live Report From Gaza

Anderson Cooper was reporting live from Gaza on Sunday night, when he had a close call with the conflict that's escalating in the region. In the midst of his report, a large explosion went off nearby.

Cooper instinctively ducked, remarking, "That was a rather large explosion" a few seconds later. "That was probably the largest explosion that we've heard just in the past, really in the past hour," he added. "There have been a number explosions in the last hour or two."

Without skipping a beat, Cooper continued to offer information on the situation.

You said the video was fake. In other words, you claim this is greenscreen, which is laughable to say the least. Again, there are several videos from the same location with a whole series of explosition but in daylight and the dark and the camera is moving and zooming out.

So make up your mind. Either you actually believe this is greenscreen or if you don't you do actually have a clue weither it is fake or not. Not much of an alternative other than.. er, dunno, clay stop motion or something?

No, your claim to believe in the Bible and simultaneous desire to see the mass destruction of any people, regardless of how they live, is contradictory with the values established in that religion.

I won't even comment on your pitiful attempt to insult my country or another race, which is irrelevant to the points I brought up, which you failed to address. Continue acting stupid, whether it's ignorance or a desire for argument. It doesn't matter, it's the internet, you won't change anything.

And people are giving him shit for that smirk and laugh at 0:26.

It's natural to react like that. You're just happy it didn't kill you, considering how close it hit.
