This BBC broadcast starts off pretty normal, but wait 'til you see the reporter's dramatic exit!

The video of what appears to be a camera error was posted to YouTube on Monday and already has over 500,000 hits. According to Metro UK, the reporter's name is Caroline Bilton, and the name of the show is "Look North." Journalist Leanne Brown quickly addressed the situation in her follow-up report, commenting, "I think we had a problem with the camera there at the end."

Bilton tweeted this morning, "Well, I'm globally famous and for all the wrong reasons! The power of the web! Glad it's making people smile. #sinkingfeeling"

Exactly! We wish every reporter would sink from their segments.
