Former Band, Fernanda Gentil reveals critical moment at the station: “it was tense”

A lot of people don't know, but Fernanda Gentil worked at Band before going global. The journalist and presenter, who recently left the station in Rio de Janeiro , spoke about her time at Band Rio during the podcast 'Poddelas', on Youtube.

When talking about her experiences before the sport, Fernanda remembered a passage during the 'hard news'. Unintentionally, she put a Band journalism team at risk of death.

During the coverage of a shooting in Rio de Janeiro, it was up to the then producer to manage the team's safety, in case of an extreme situation.

“I went to Band to make the city. Uphill, downhill, bulletproof vest, still in production. I was the reporter's producer, so I had to accompany the team…”, began the journalist.

MOMENTS OF TENSION IN THE BAND

Asked if there was a remarkable story in this period, Fernanda Gentil recalled a shooting during a coverage in Copacabana , in the south zone of Rio.

“We went to cover a shooting in Copacabana… They have a whole task force to do this story. Obviously, it was very dangerous. Almost a rehearsal, like, of what you have to do. In case of emergency, the order was for us to get into the team car, because the press car was not targeted. I, as a producer, had the car keys,” she explained about her mission.

“Things started to break out up there [community], a 'okay, yeah,' [gunshots], went down, down, run, I don't know what, open the car, open the car and I lost the car key. The whole team in the street and I was trying to open it and I couldn't”, said Fernanda, surprisingly.

The solution was to ask for shelter from colleagues from the press who were also driving: “We went hitchhiking from partner stations, which were there with us… In that 'light and peaceful' moment. I said: 'Guys, I don't know. Bullet proof vest, heavy for cassettes, a pain, aching lower back, here feeling something, carrying camera, tripod, do you have to turn it on with a key?”, she said good-naturedly, saying that the key was only found some time later. The passage can be seen below, starting at 27 minutes.
