A BBC journalist was accidentally caught complaining about his job after he didn't realize he was still live on air.
BBC News correspondent Dan Johnson was discussing the ongoing turmoil happening in Afghanistan with his anchor Shaun Ley who was in the studio, when he appeared to experience some technical difficulties.
Ley asked Johnson: "The events in the last few weeks – in the recent week where you are, have been an extraordinary turnabout in events haven't they?"
But Johnson then stares back at the screen, clearly not being able to hear his Ley.
It was then when Johnson didn't hold back, and sighed: "This job, man. This job."
He then walks out of the shot, before BBC News quickly returns to the studio.
Ley then addresses viewers while chuckling saying: "I think I’m right in saying that Dan didn’t hear my question - I don’t think he was upset by it. I think he lost the line, so apologies for that. We’ll try get Dan back a little later."
Following his blunder, Johnson himself has shared the clip on his Twitter to make light of the situation.
Taking to Twitter, he wrote: "A good reminder - ALWAYS assume you are live on air, whatever goes wrong!"
In a series of follow-up tweets, Johnson explained what had happened: "Power cut broke the line from London so I couldn’t hear the presenter.
"Thought I’d been taken off air entirely but finished my answer and waited in case, either to allow them to realize and move on or for the sound to return. Thought I’d waited long enough… apparently not."
Discussing the challenges of the job, Johnson continued in a follow-up tweet, writing: "I was filming with my iPhone, balancing on some cushions in front of the window having only just managed to get in the hotel room and make the connection in time after being locked out by a dodgy room card. As I said, a job with many challenges but always a privilege."
