Put on the spot

If you haven't heard about all the Olympic protests due to China's position on Tibet, open your eyes.

Today in San Francisco, three protesters with the Students for a Free Tibet scaled the cables of the Golden Gate Bridge to hoist up two signs that read "Free Tibet."

One thing I wanted to highlight was the CBS5 anchor who had to think quick on her feet as she was told a caller was calling in that was on the bridge. Little did she know it was one of the protesters hanging from the bridge.

Talk about a tough and lucky situation to be in. Talk about a prime source. Talk about thinking on your feet. That is what journalist dream about.

I think she handled it decently, especially in the situation she was put in. I was hopping the video was on Youtube already, but they only have the original video up right now.

Here is the link the protester calling in.
