Storm Chaser Pukes on Camera During Hurricane Melissa Flight
A scientist named Matthew Cappucci flew in a plane to study a big storm called Hurricane Melissa.
When the plane flew through the middle of the hurricane, it got very bumpy.
The bumps made Matthew feel sick, and he threw up into a bag on TV!
Even though it was embarrassing, Matthew said it was worth it to learn about the storm.
He wasn't sick for long and felt better afterward.
Storm chaser Matthew Cappucci vomited on national television while flying through Hurricane Melissa.
The incident occurred due to intense turbulence during the flight into the hurricane's eye.
Cappucci, a meteorologist with MyRadarWX, described the event on X, humorously noting his 'television career has peaked'.
He stated that the experience was 'worth it 10 fold' despite the unpleasant moment.
Cappucci assured viewers that he recovered quickly after the incident.
