Just a little fun around the News 12 set, eh guys? A little spidey crawled across the lens while we were filming the space shuttle! Heh. Cute little spider dude. Aw, it looks like — AH JESUS HERE IT COMES.
What is it about our species that causes us to never tire of people screaming? We love it when others are startled. And yet do we not recoil at giant fake spiders when they’re thrown at us? Who wants an enormous arachnid both endangering our country’s space program and our very lives? Not this lady. So laugh all you want. Laugh at the professionalism of commenting about the spider on the lens situation for so long. Laugh at the fact that their computer is broken. Laugh about his tie. But if you laugh about that big ol’ bug flying through the air — well, it just might be coming for you next. After it’s done with NASA. [Reddit]

How old is this footage? That guy was doing that years ago.
Also, that spider would be about 1cm at most.
(not the one that was lobbed in the studio)
