A dublini szállodai tűzről tudósító riporternek sikerült a hollywoodi legendát, Henry Winklert mikrofonvégre kapnia, miközben épp evakuálták a hotelből.

Henry Winkler was the unlikely man-on-the-street news crews found to discuss the blaze. Winkler is in Ireland to promote his memoir Being Henry: The Fonz… and Beyond, according to the broadcaster. He seemed remarkably stoic about the fact that his first day in the country involved being evacuated from a burning hotel, cheerily describing the incident as “an amazing adventure right here in Dublin.”

I, when I heard the fire alarm, I thought it was the clock radio.

I thought somebody had set the alarm before we got there, you know, like another guest.

And finally I went into another room and it was still buzzing.

So I called downstairs, and the woman said in a very calm voice, yes, we’re all evacuating. You must evacuate right now.

And I left.

I saw you thanking the Dublin Fire Brigade.

You know what?

How wonderful.

Firemen are some of my favorite human beings.

Firemen, fire women.

They run in when other people are running out.

I think their hands deserve to be shook.

We came last night.

Our plane was delayed in London for about three and a half hours.

This morning we got up and evacuated, and it was an amazing adventure right here in Dublin.

I cannot wait to see the rest of Dublin.
