Sports photographers have to be constantly on guard and ready to move at a moment's notice if a play gets out-of-bounds, but one camera operator narrowly missed an unexpected threat from above: a camera suspended on a cable.
During a match between Hungary and Kazakhstan on June 09, a cable camera – the spidercam TV cameras suspended above the field for a bird’s eye view of the game – started smoking. The cable then broke, sending the camera falling from more than 20 meters / 65.6 feet.
