CNN anchor Poppy Harlow passed out briefly while on the air Monday morning. She was discussing the war on terror when suddenly she wasn't, or at least not making much sense, as her voice faltered and words failed her.
At the time viewers could hear her but couldn't see her because the screen was filled with a CNN graphic on the results of a recent network poll showing that a majority of Americans are dissatisfied with the progress of the war on terror.
As Harlow's voice slurred and petered out, there was a split second of silence with only the faint sounds of control-room voices. Suddenly, CNN cut to media reporter, Brian Stelter, from the closing moments of his regular Sunday media show, Reliable Sources.
Soon, #PoppyHarlow began popping up on Twitter with speculation about what had happened.
Almost immediately, Harlow, 33, reappeared on air to reassure viewers (and Twitter) that she was OK.
"For all of you on Twitter who are asking if I'm OK, thank you so much," she said. "I got a little hot and I passed out for a moment. I am fine and we're going to take a quick break."
