PDX Ice Girl

I was driving around for several hours for KATU News in Portland Oregon, shooting video and reporting on a snow and ice storm that was impacting our area. I was heading east on Halsey Rd, when I spotted this young woman struggling to walk on an extremely icy sidewalk. It was funny, but I knew her pain, as I had that issue all day... while carrying my camera, tripod, etc., covering car crashes and weather stuff.

I shot video of her with my I-phone, then thought I could help. I had a pair of shoe spikes in my news car, ran over and gave them to her. I then got her to do a 'Live' tv interview with me. Sadly, after several hours of coverage, my mic battery died at exactly the wrong time... but this is the coverage and I included my cell phone video. That video of her sliding made ABC World News Tonight! Hats off to Sarah for being a good sport, but more importantly... how cool is it that she is trying so hard to get to work? She's a rock star!
