New Zealand PM Jacinda Ardern carries on with TV interview during quake

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern almost skipped a beat when an earthquake hit during a live television interview Monday morning.

She interposed Newshub host Ryan Bridge to inform him what was occurring at the parliament complex in the capital, Wellington.

“We’re just having a bit of an earthquake here Ryan, quite a decent shake here,” she said, looking up and around the room. “But, um, if you see things moving behind me.”

New Zealand sits on the Pacific Ring of Fire and is sometimes called the Shaky Isles for its frequent quakes.
