Mosquito chokes news anchor
China Television Co had to urgently put on an advert while it drafted in a replacement presenter
TAIPEI — A Taiwanese television presenter was hospitalised after a mosquito flew into her mouth, choking her and interrupting her live broadcast of a news programme. The mosquito got so deep into Huang Ching's mouth that it was stuck in her windpipe, setting off severe asthma, China Times media group said on Wednesday.
China Television Co had to urgently put on a four-minute advert while it drafted in a replacement presenter to carry on with the news. "I never expected a mosquito to have such a great power. It really gave me a bad day," Huang said after recovering from last week's unlikely interruption. The senior anchor spent a day in hospital.
