Whoops! This Reporter Accidentally Got High While Standing Near a Pile of Burning Drugs
Talk about a contact high! While reporting on narcotics in Afghanistan, BBC reporter Quentin Sommerville got a bit more than he bargained for.
Sommerville had been standing near 8.5 tons worth of burning heroin, opium, and hashish, when he was hit with a bad case of the giggles. Hey, there are worse things in life, right?The reporter tweeted the footage out on Monday as a “Christmas laugh,” but was apparently ordered by the BBC to remove it from the internet.
“The video of Quentin corpsing, which has now been deleted, was posted in the spirit of a blooper,” said a BBC spokesman. “It was filmed four years ago. It hasn’t been seen before and was never broadcast.”
Fortunately for us, there’s no stopping YouTube. Check out the footage above.
