Christine Chubbuck
The story of Christine Chubbuck is certainly one of the saddest on-air tragedies we’ve ever seen. The WXLT reporter is the first person to have ever committed suicide on live television, treating her own death as another “blood and guts” story for the channel. She even wrote a third-person account of the incident, which she expected to be read by whoever took over the broadcast after she shot herself.
