This Is What Happens When A BBC Reporter Stands Next To A Pile Of Burning Hash And Heroin
BBC's Middle East correspondent Quentin Sommerville was trying to do a serious report on the drug trade in Afghanistan a few years back ... then he got the giggles.
In case you were wondering, this is what "eight and a half tons of heroin, opium, hashish and other narcotics" burning behind you does.
The video was filmed a few years ago, when Sommerville was the BBC correspondent in Afghanistan. It went viral this week, after the raw cut was tweeted as a "holiday treat."
Sommerville tried his best to keep it together, a consummate professional.
