Death By Camera At The Football Game

Did someone actually die from a camera? No, but a camera almost fell on some NFL players. During the New Orleans Saints and Seattle Seahawks game, one of the overhead cameras drooped so low that it fell on the field. In case you didn't know, there are now cameras suspended from wires at NFL games. These cameras travel across the wires taking videos of the players. Now you can see the players right in the center of the huddle from a bird's eye view. Anyway, the camera dropped right behind the Seahawk players, almost hitting two of them. I always knew that no good would come of those cameras.

After the camera fell, there was a 10-minute delay to repair the wires and camera. Once everything was restored, the game resumed. But many people were cautious of another falling down. When there was a camera hovering over the Seahawk's bench, there were absolutely no people underneath. Then the referee threw his yellow penalty flag indicating that there was a delay-of-game penalty on the network's camera.
