'Jessica, we are live!' – Namibian news bulletin goes horribly wrong
Oh no, Jessica!
It takes a lot for a news bulletin to go wrong. There’s a lot of planning and preparation before the cameras go ‘live’! However, as indicated in a new video clip which has gone viral, news reporting is usually informative, but from time to time it can be hilarious.
The video featuring two news anchors in studio trended on Twitter.

In the video, the one anchor starts the live link and gives room for the sports reporter called Jessica to continue. However, Jessica doesn’t know the cameras are rolling, so she makes an awkward comment, forcing the news anchor to say, "Jessica…we are live!"
