Earthquake interrupts live news broadcast

An earthquake interrupted a live news interview in Peru.

While they were in separate locations, you can see reporter Alvina Ruiz and her interviewee react.

Though shaken, Ruiz keeps her cool. "Let's try to stay calm. Emergency backpack at hand. Try to stay calm," she told viewers.

The epicentre of the 6.0 magnitude quake hit about 50 miles south of the Peruvian capital of Lima.

It caused damage and evacuations, but no injuries, nor a tsunami.
