Helicopter Wife Cheating
The setup
The premise
Here’s the bit.
A television news anchor turns to his helicopter reporter for live coverage of a high-speed police pursuit. The reporter spots his wife’s car and abandons the story to investigate her supposed trip out of town. Attempts to cut away only make his threats more alarming, while a phone call exposes an uncomfortable connection to the studio. After the broadcast takes a disastrous turn, the anchor tries to carry on with a movie review.

Good evening, everyone. I'm Brian Morales. We interrupt your regularly scheduled program to bring you some breaking news. A bank heist in the downtown area has gone horribly wrong, resulting in a shootout with police officers in broad daylight. We go now live to Robert Harris with our Eye in the Sky Chopper 3. Robert, what can you see?

Well, as you can see below me, the suspects fled the scene in a white Ford Taurus, and they are moving recklessly fast. I mean, you just have to hope to God that they don't hit one of these other motorists down there.
