    Fabrice Muamba having a heart attack during a Tottenham vs Bolton match

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TCbVIEtoiI

    There was a consultant cardiologist in the crowd that assisted the medical staff and accompanied him in the ambulance. As I recall he directed the driver to by pass the closest hospital and went to a further one away where he worked with specialist cardiac services. Muamba is one lucky man he was there.

    You're spot on, his decision to go the extra mile so to speak saved Fabrice's life
    I also remember Marc Vivien Foe collapsing in the middle of the pitch while playing for Cameroon.... unfortunately he passed away there and then

    Maybe this is unfair but it annoyed me that Muamba and his wife were constantly thanking God for him not dying. Rather than the people who actually saved his life.

    I know it's not live tv, but I'd love to rewatch the whole "jousting question" from the Irish version of Who wants to be a millionaire?

    Does anyone have a clip of this? Remember it so well more because in the same episode when one contestant got picked he jumped up and shouted "YAAAAS" hilariously.

    There was a competition on the LLS in the 90s I think it was where Gay Byrne pulled out some lady's name, I think she won a car. He rings her up and tells her, I think Gay asked her how her week was or something and she tells him her daughter had just died in a car crash. Cue awkwardness the likes of which I've neer witnessed before. Gay asks her "why did she die?" He obviously meant how but the woman thinks he's taking the pee, cue epic levels of awkwardness but he saves it by giving her his sympathies.

    There was a video of it on Youtube but it was taken down a few years ago.

    I remember watching it live. "Why did she die?" being one of the most bizarre questions I've ever heard.

    Also the melee after the Bowe vs. Golota fight from '96. I was glad I stayed up to watch that fight that night, but it was a shame it ended up in a disqualification for Golota for too many low blows as it was a really good fight up to that point.

    Surprised this didn't get more attention at the time. Pity I can't find a longer clip because Matt Cooper's reaction was quite funny too, he just had a 'did that just happen' look on his face. It featured on gogglebox too:



    Haven't seen that lad on TV ever since.

    I actually felt sorry for Brook that night. At first he declined the offer to sing a song and was pressured in to it by Gay Byrne with Mrs Doyle enthusiasm (go on, go on, go on). It got so embarrassing for Brook that he reluctantly agreed to do something.

    Gay Bryne should have showed more discretion at the time and I thought that the backlash against Brook was a bit unfair, considering the pressure he was put under on live TV.

    He was the Secretary of State for NOrthern Ireland. If he can't take a bit of pressure from a light entertainment TV host, he shouldn't have been in the job.

    Noel Edmonds - Late Late Breakfast Show.

    As previously mentioned, that was a stunt that went wrong in rehearsal (not aired), the day before a scheduled live Saturday evening transmission. The participant was to bungee jump out of an exploding box suspended 120 ft in the air, but the rope slipped off it's mount and he fell to his death.

    As it happened, I had a friend working in BBC TV centre at the time and I was on the ferry and overnight train journey down to London that Friday - I was going to watch the programme in the studio, when it went out live.

    This was back in the days long before mobile phones and I knew nothing about the accident, until I got to London and was told that the programme was cancelled. It was very eerie to go to the studio and see it all set up and lit for broadcast, knowing that someone involved had died hours earlier and the prog was not going ahead.

    Edmonds was off air for two years after the incident.

    Thanks for the correction. It's amazing how the memory can change events after alot of years.

    Something similar happened on TG4 a few years back. A woman was killed after her caravan was blown into the sea, it was on TG4 news. Right after the news ended an add was played by TG4 of a giant kicking a caravan into the sea

    Remember them apologizing about it fairly soon after

    Two Gardaí were once killed on duty when their car struck a wall. There was a repeat of A Scare At Bedtime With Podge and Rodge which had a macabre plot about Gardaí being killed in a car crash after a prank went wrong..

    Mike Murphy used to do the sports news on TV back in the early 70's. He was off camera but didn't know his microphone was live. So just as the news caster was telling the main story of the day, I think it was a car load of policemen getting blown to bits in the north by the RA, he breaks into hysterical laughter which is broadcast. It was something fairly harmless like one of the crew told him a joke while he was still in the background waiting to do his bit, he himself did not hear the news as it was being read, it just sounds really bad.

    Bulls**t he didn't hear it, Mike Murphy was a known IRA supporter

    But he was also on the show to win over people in the south and show a human face to British (Tory) rule in the north.

    Michael Martin went on Ireland AM a few years ago and was thrown a curveball about a donation ending up in his wifes bank account. The video seems to be gone but he was really blindsided, the transcript is here from Broadsheet:
    Sinead Desmond: “You’re representing a new Fianna Fail, but then I was thinking about two things from your past. One of them being a – totally legitimate – donation by Owen O’Callaghan that found its way into your wife’s Dublin bank account. That seemed strange to me and had a sniff of the old Fianna Fail.

    “And the second thing, in the Mahon Tribunal you were asked if you ever brought Owen O’Callaghan to meet Bertie Ahern and you said no that you would have remembered if such a thing happened. And then you were shown Mr Ahern’s ministerial diary which seemed to recollect a meeting between yourself, Bertie Ahern and Owen O’Callaghan but you said you couldn’t recall it. I’ll give you a chance to explain but both of those incidents smell of the old Fianna Fail that put ourselves in the position we find ourselves in.”

    Michael Martin: “I think that’s very unfair because I gave a very comprehensive account to the Tribunal on this…You’ve picked out two things…I gave a very comprehensive account and documentary evidence to the effect in terms of that donation that the money was spent on the party’s electoral operation in that local election. We showed the receipts – we didn’t have the full receipts, but we showed the receipts also the money left very quickly in the month around the General Election itself so every political party got donations at that time and they didn’t have to declare them.

    Sinead Desmond: “But it ended up in your wife’s bank account?”

    Martin: “My wife and I worked together in terms of the politics at the time. There’s nothing strange about that. We both lived in Dublin for that period and so there was nothing in that. When I say I lived in Dublin I was up here during the week in the Dail. Mary worked in Dublin for that year so there’s nothing wrong with that at all and no one has ever suggested any impropriety or any wrongdoing in terms of that.”

    Desmond: “Neither was I.”

    Martin: “Yeah (laughs) but when it’s taken out like that in full isolation like that it creates an innuendo and it creates an issue when there was none and in fact all I was ever was asked and every TD was asked at the time was for a list of donations that they received from that gentleman (O’Callaghan).”

    “And I gave them full comprehensive information with receipts which I even didn’t have to have at the time but I did and presented what I had at that time and there’s never been a suggestion by anyone that there anything wrong or any impropriety in relation to that”

    Desmond: “What about the meeting mentioned in The Mahon Tribunal.”

    Martin: “I never had a meeting with Bertie and Owen O’Callaghan.”

    Desmond: “It’s all there recorded in his diary.”

    Martin: “But it wasn’t you see even the tribunal itself didn’t seem to be going into (pause) I don’t want to be going into this because it’s based on the report (pause) didn’t seem to be too clear about it (pause, dry mouth) never any indication in advance that that was going to be raised (pause) I certainly didn’t…(trails off)”

    I remember Gay Byrne had an episode of the Late Late Show given over completely to comedians. A young Jason Byrne I think was on with hands on sticks and went up to the front row fooling with people. Anyway some respectable middle aged guy with glasses and a beard if I remember rightly got thick with him and grabbed the hands off him. Byrne started laughing and moved on. I think his "Those are fake hands!" line from Father Ted grew out of that incident. The poor man was obviously conscious he was on TV that Byrne was making a mickey out of him and he got upset. Very awkward on Monday at work after he probably told everyone to watch out for him on the telly.

    The late John McAleese - a very scary looking Scot with a big bushy mustache - who took part in the SAS raid said afterwards that the guys had a piss up and were joined by VIPs. The news came on and they all sat down to watch the assault. McAleese saw a head in the way and shouted "Move your f***ing head!" Maggie Thatcher apologized and moved her head.

    The Over The Edge pay per view that WWE(then known as WWF) had where Owen Hart died as a result of a malfunctioning zipline. The release mechanism went off too early sending him flying down to the ring. While the incident itself wasn't caught on camera for the audience at home it must have been terrifying for the audience in the arena to witness.

    It is but the most remarkable thing I find is that Mick Foley never 'rehearsed' going up to the top of the cell.

    He told Vince McMahon he did but the first time he was on top was when the show started. He said previously had he known how high up it was, he wouldn't have gone through it.

    Two missing teeth, multiple stitches below his lip, dislocated jaw, concussion, bruised kidney and a dislocated shoulder from that night alone. As you said, insane!

    His book - 'Have a Nice Day' is a good read.
