CNN's Kaitlan Collins assured viewers that Anderson Cooper was OK after he was hit in the face by debris while covering Hurricane Milton in Florida
“And the water now is really starting to pour over. If you look at the ground …” Cooper, 57, said on a Wednesday, October 9, CNN broadcast before being hit in the face by a large piece of debris. “Whoa! OK, that wasn’t good. We’ll probably go inside shortly, but you can see the amount of water here on the ground. This is water from the Manatee River.”
Fans reacted to the moment via social media by sending well-wishes to Cooper. “Can someone get Anderson Cooper away from that railing before he’s washed away?” one fan captioned a clip of the reporter still on the pier at around midnight on Thursday, October 10. On Thursday, Cohen, 56, reposted a fan’s Instagram Story of them watching Cooper on CNN, which read, “We need @andersoncooper and @bravoandy for NYE. Please get this national treasure under cover. On top of the photo, Cohen wrote, “AGREE.”
