The launch broadcast narration continued for several seconds following the vehicle explosion reporting either telemetry or programmed flight path information before breaking script with the infamous announcement "There's obviously been a major malfunction". Various reports I've seen are that the previous commentary was based on telemetry rather than watching video.
There was an F9 loss early in the program where the presenter was overcome by emotion. I would love to find an archive of all the launches including that one.
I distinctly recall that occurring. The event was 28 January 1986, and whilst I didn't watch it live, I did catch it within a few hours.
Though that wasn't a SpaceX launch.
