This reporter is going to hear "What are you -- chicken?" jokes for the rest of his career.

Whenever natural disasters strike, news stations often send out a few poor saps to report from the scene.

But if there’s an award for Most Deserving of Hazard Pay, it has to go to Washington, DC Fox affiliate WTTG’s Tucker Barnes.

Talk about a big ooops!!! When breaking news occurs, mistakes are bound to be had. Unfortunately, one local news anchor for Washington, D.C., Fox affiliate WTTG learned this the hard way last night while reporting on the killing of terrorist leader Osama bin Laden.
