Judge Judy’s Earthquake
Wow! I heard about the earthquake on the television, but I didn’t know that this small piece of film was floating around the internet. Fortunately, no one was hurt. Is any body wondering why those lights didn’t fall?! Those studio lights are several pounds in weight. So… still wondering? I’ve got the answer!
Each studio light is attached to a baton, a very long pole that hangs from the ceiling of the studio. They are attached by a very large bolt through the base of the light. Now, keep in mind, one twist with a wrench can loosen them up so they can be taken down and moved to a new location. In the event of something like this happening (or just because of a loose bolt) they also add extra security cables around those lights which are also attached to the baton. If a light were to become loose and fall, the security cable would catch it before it falls to the ground to break or even worse, harm someone underneath.
Well there you go. A random tid-bit of information that you’ll probably never use in your entire life
