BBC confuses Taiwan's National Day celebrations for North Korea's military parade
Taiwan's National Day celebrations
The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) hasembarassed itself aftermistakingTaiwan's National Day celebrations for North Korea's military parade.
The network made the mistake on Saturday after it posted a video titled 'Live Pyongyang'. However, the video was from Taipei.
The only similarity between the two events were the military themes. Other than that, both events looked nothing alike. While Taiwan's event took place during day time, North Korea's event took place at night.
The mistake was noticed by the eagle-eyed viewers of the network who took to social networking websites to point out the mistake.
