When a mentally ill man crashed a truck through the lobby at WMAR in Baltimore, it was a strange scene.

While the story was happening at WMAR, the station could not broadcast the breaking news that was going on in their own studio.

WMAR embedded the live stream from competitor WJZ on their website so viewers could watch what was going on.

When cops finally cuff the 27 year old suspect, WMAR made up for lost time by anchoring their newscast from the smashed and crashed front lobby.
