'Quite a decent shake here, if you see things moving behind me,' New Zealand PM Jacinda Ardern said, as an earthquake struck as she was in the midst of a live TV interview.
A moderate 5.6-magnitude earthquake rattled New Zealand's North Island early Monday but failed to crack Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern's trademark composure as she conducted a live television interview.
But there was sustained shaking in Wellington, where Ardern was being interviewed on breakfast television from parliament's Beehive building, which is designed to absorb seismic forces by swaying slightly on its foundations. "It's just stopped," she said."We're fine, I'm not under any hanging lights, I look like I'm in a structurally sound place."
