‘Good Day’ morning show hosts in Denver react when a stream of Twitter pictures of the fatal helicopter crash in Seattle suddenly started showing unrelated photos — including one of a penis.
A Denver television station reporting on the helicopter crash in Seattle showed its viewers some images that were far more graphic than intended.
KDVR-TV had a camera pointed to a computer screen during its "Good Day" morning program that showed a picture of the famed Space Needle building. But then the screen started showing other pictures on Twitter including Edward Scissorhands, a cooked dish - and then a giant penis poking through a man's zipper, according to video on Deadspin.
"That's Edward Scissorhands, so we'll just … [X-rated picture appears] … just ignore that," anchor Kirk Yuhnke said on air.
The two anchors at the end of the set immediately covered their mouths in horror as their colleagues continued on.

Denver TV station KDVR was updating viewers on the deadly Seattle helicopter crash Tuesday when suddenly an X-rated photo appeared on Twitter.
"And so a lot of people are obviously following it on Twitter and we're going to be following it here on 'Good Day,'" Yuhnke continued with a straight face.
"Horrible situation," said his colleague Brooke Wagner.
Authorities report two people died and a man was seriously injured after a KOMO News helicopter plummeted near the structure Tuesday morning.
Station News Director Ed Kosowski issued an apology to the Denver Post.
“Fox 31 Denver accidentally broadcast an offensive photo while scrolling live through a Twitter feed of pictures from the crash scene,” the statement said. “The photo was mistakenly broadcast by our control room. It did not come from the
tablet many viewers saw being used by one of our anchors. We apologize for the inadvertent broadcast of the image and we are taking immediate steps to prevent such an accident from happening again."
