A Los Angeles-based meteorologist passed out throughout a live television broadcast this weekend– and there’s still no word on her condition after the scary minute was captured on video camera.

Alissa Carlson Schwartz was assisting CBS L.A.’s KCAL group start the broadcast early Saturday early morning, leading the 7: 00 AM hour with a weather forecast about inbound rain for L.A. this next week. Prior to she might even get into her report, she lost awareness.

The video is definitely scary … you see Carlson’s eyes roll to the back of her head, and she starts to lean forward on the desk she was at. Ultimately, she entirely collapses.

As the 2 anchors kept in mind at the start of the sector, Carlson was on set with them– however it appears she may’ve been at a various place … due to the fact that they didn’t appear to see she ‘d lost consciousness up until a couple of minutes later on. They worried and cut to industrial.

It’s been a while now and there’s still no main upgrade on how Carlson is doing. KCAL never ever returned to a live report after this– the station chose to air pre-recorded/promotional shows for numerous hours. At the minute, they’re covering the NCAA.

Here’s the important things … Carlson had actually formerly experienced a comparable episode years earlier– tossing up on set throughout a weather forecast when she was at a various station– and as an outcome … she was detected with a leaking heart valve. That was back in 2014.

Waiting on your approval to fill the Facebook Video.

Uncertain if her previous medical diagnosis played any function in Saturday’s episode. We have actually connected to KCAL for a declaration … up until now, no word back. They have not resolved this at all so far.
