Viewers Impressed With Weatherman’s Handling Of Panic Attack On Live TV

Television presenter Nate Byrne stopped working while live on air after announcing that he was experiencing a panic attack. The ABC News Breakfast weather presenter halted his report on Tuesday morning (August 13), cutting his broadcast just before 6:30 am. At the time, the Australian meteorologist told viewers, “I’m going to need to stop for a second.”

As he was detailing the weather down under, Nate abruptly announced: “Some of you may know that I occasionally get affected by some panic attacks, and actually, that’s happening right now.”

After interrupting his reading of Queensland’s weather report, Nate very calmly asked to hand the broadcast back to ABC News Breakfast co-presenters Lisa Millar and Michael Rowland.
