CNN’s Sara Sidner has reported from war zones, has been hit by shrapnel and continued to tell the story.

By all accounts, Sidner is a tough as nails Reporter that does what is needed to tell the story.

Yesterday, she broke down crying on the air.

She was not reporting from a war zone, she was not off in some decimated far away country, she was outside a hospital in LA reporting on the coronavirus and it all hit her.

After reporting on thousands of deaths and the struggles that families are going through over losing someone they love to COVID, it all came rushing out for Sidner.

WOW. Powerful moment on @CNN just now. Must watch. Sending you lots of love @sarasidnerCNN pic.twitter.com/v8Pv4xOo36

After the live hit in which she lost it, Sidner took to social media to apologize for what just happened on air.
