When NBC's reporter Kristen Welker delivers news, it seems nothing can stop her from doing her job with dedication.
Welker was reporting live from Washington DC covering Attorney General William Barr's comments on the shutdowns due to the coronavirus pandemic when suddenly a gush of strong wind sent two lights fixtures in front of her crashing onto the ground. Little did this action move Welker, who went on giving out information with a facemask on.
The video of the same was shared by journalist Jeevan Vittal, who said, "That time @kwelkernbc (an already amazing journalist) became a legend."
The host from the studio is heard asking Kristen whether she is okay, to which Kristen very calmly says, "We all are okay, they just fell in front of me".

No sooner had the tweet gone viral, netizens were quick to hail the reporter's unfazed attitude. In fact, Welker herself shared a couple of jokes in this regard, one which said, "first-round pocket presence" as she dodged the lights.
Put me in, coach!
