New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern barely skipped a beat when an earthquake struck during a live television interview Monday morning.
She interrupted Newshub host Ryan Bridge to tell him what was happening at the parliament complex in the capital, Wellington.
New Zealand sits on the Pacific Ring of Fire and is sometimes called the Shaky Isles for its frequent quakes. The quake hit just before 8 a.m. and was felt by thousands of New Zealanders who were getting ready to start their work weeks. It was strong enough to rattle food from shelves and stop train services.Ardern continued on with her interview, telling the host the shaking had stopped.
