Weatherman Nearly Sends Cameraman Off Cliff!

Things got scary today on "Good Morning America" when a rappelling stunt in Great Falls, Va. went awry -- hurling weatherman Sam Champion sideways and almost sending an unharnessed cameraman into the drink.

10. The director of that piece should be fired. He should have not put the close-up cameraman in that location. Moron. He could have been killed !
