@J_D_X@dragonscave.space I thought similar when I heard O’Donoghue describe the event later on BBC radio. I thought his description was great. The inclusion of things he physically felt gave it a dimension you wouldn’t usually get.
The only thing that stood out for me was the presenter asking Gary to describe “what you saw”. But I guess that demonstrates it’s not something people think of in his coverage.
He’s a great journalist.

@RobW@iosdev.space @J_D_X@dragonscave.space BBC News (on DTV in the UK, and on satellite at 28.2E FTA) is the BBC's 24hr rolling news channel. It shares the "big news" hours with the BBC One channel (where DTV viewers get regional news and weather as local opt-ins). BBC News has filler clips of different lengths, that they can play at any time to more easily sync the live presentation. One of the longer of these clips features Gary O'Donoghue, and has excerpts from his coverage of that previous POTUS assassination attempt.
