Trump scored a huge symbolic and moral victory with Carrier, in a negotiation that granted tax breaks to the company if they promised not to move jobs to Mexico.
CNN Correspondent Suzanne Malveaux was preparing to cover the Carrier press conference, that featured President-elect Donald Trump and VP-elect Mike Pence, when at one point (right before going on air) the CNN crew started to joke about Trump's plane crashing.
FTVLive obtained the video of Malveaux joking before her live coverage on CNN.
The crew was waiting on Trump's appearance at the press conference, and waiting for his plane to land, when the inappropriate jokes were made.
CNN is no fan of Trump, but this hot mic moment takes things to new extremes.
