News team distracted by the Incredible Hulk

Last week, WGN-TV sent a news helicopter to capture footage of flooded streets and backyards in Chicago.

The SkyCam9 found plenty of water damage — and then it spotted the Incredible Hulk.

A large green statue towered over a fenced-in yard, distracting the Chicago news team back at the station.

"Is that a Hulk there in the backyard? I'm sorry. I'm just getting distracted by this video," a female newscaster said on-air.

"Can't make this up," a male co-anchor added.

Just then, the homeowner spotted the helicopter and ran outside to strike a few Hulk poses beside the statue for the camera.

The story about flooding quickly turned into a story about an angry green comic-book hero. Even when the camera moved to reveal the flooded street in front of the Hulk's house, the news team still had the statue on their minds.

"Notice there's no water in his backyard. It's too scared," a news team member pointed out.

"Safest house in town," added a colleague.

If we were flood waters, we'd probably back off, too.
