Video shared by first responders shows the moment a spark from power lines ignited a natural gas leak in North Carolina. No injuries were reported, but at least two structures were damaged.
Trending is a live report that shows what topics are popular and being discussed on social media. It is a news segment that can be inserted in-between regular programming on television and radio. It can also be featured during network newscasts, especially if the event is urgent enough to warrant interrupting non-news programming. Depending on the seriousness of the breaking story, it may be followed by a special edition or ongoing coverage of the events. It is sometimes referred to as a Newsflash or Special Report.
Until the advent of 24-hour news networks, breaking news reports were limited to extreme emergencies, such as the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, that required nationwide, urgent coverage and interrupted many stations’ normal programming.
