CNN's Chad Myers flips out on-air during hurricane coverage
CNN weather forecaster Chad Myers flipped out during their coverage hours before Hurricane Katrina made landfall.
Myers, visibly upset at being cut off by anchor Carol Costello, yelled, "Let me talk Carol!"
Costello almost jovially said, "Well Chad, what does that mean?"
Myers tossed his notes down in disgust and yelled, "Well, if you'd let me talk..."
Sounds like multiple folks were getting testy over at CNN.
The Political Teen has the video both in Quicktime and WMP.

I don't blame the guy though. She was rather rude in interupting him. Should have waited until he finished his weather news spot. He was probably going to explain the weather in more detail anyway. After all, that's his "big moment". All he does is report the weather. She is the anchor and can ask all of her questions afterwards if he didn't make things clear.
Still, I guess his response was rather unprofessional. But I feel for the guy.
