WATCH: TV Anchor in Afghanistan Quickly Exits Desk as Earthquake Strikes

A TV anchor was forced to leave his desk on Monday as a powerful 7.5-magnitude earthquake was shaking northern Afghanistan.

The anchor, who works for the Ariana Television Network, was facing the camera and continued to talk as the first tremors were felt in the studio, and remained calm until he eventually decided to leave the desk when his camera was no longer centered on him.

As many as 200 people were killed in the earthquake, mostly in Pakistan.
