This meant they had to head to a bomb shelter, and Cooper noted they would continue reporting from there. While explaining the steps they needed to take, he turned to Ward and Diamond, asking if they were ready to make their way down.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

By the two-and-a-half-minute mark of the ten-minute video shared on the news network’s YouTube channel, the commentary had wrapped up. Cooper then asked a crew member if it was time to head to the shelter, and they were given the green light to proceed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

As they began heading down, Cooper kept reporting, with the camera trailing him into a room where other team members were gathered. “I can hear the sirens going off. This is from the hotel, they\u2019re warning all the hotel guests to go down,” he\u00a0stated<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
