An Entire Wall Fell On A Broadcaster During An ESPN Soccer Show In Colombia

Sometimes, a sports show doesn’t quite go as planned.

This was absolutely the case during an ESPN soccer segment in Bogota, Columbia late Tuesday night when an entire wall came down on a reporter during a roundtable discussion. The victim of the wall disaster was journalist Carlos Orduz.

Tweet translation: This accident just happened tonight on the ESPN colleagues’ program in Bogotá on the air. The strong blow was received by colleague Carlos Orduz. Let it be nothing serious, my God, blessed

According to multiple reports, Carlos Orduz is not seriously hurt, just in shock from such a huge object striking him square.

I gotta say, we’ve seen a lot of freak accidents in the past, but this one might take the cake. How does an entire wall come crashing down on a man without something triggering it?

Orduz posted a video on Twitter telling everybody that he is, indeed, OK.

This is Carlos Orduz of @ESPN radio 🇨🇴 telling everyone he is fine after an incident In studio tonight. You can pull up video.. it’s graphic, and it’s truly amazing he is standing upright and telling us he’s fine. 🙏🏼 https://t.co/SMPf0htKtw

By the looks of that video of the wall falling, it is pretty remarkable that Orduz is standing to tell the story. Thank god this freak accident was nothing too serious.
