Screen Shot 2016-12-05 at 5.22.20 PM“Bloomberg Surveillance” anchor Francine Lacqua is normally in London, but on Monday she was reporting from Rome, leading the show’s referendum coverage.

She was mid-question when some of the set came crashing down. Her guest, Luigi G. Zingales, a finance professor at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, jumped in and helped her.

Lacqua made a joke and continued on with her question.

“This is a live show, people,” said Lacqua. “This is what happens when there’s a little bit of wind on a rooftop.”

The incident can be watched here:
