Today, social media is no longer just a means of entertainment, but it has become an important part of people's everyday life. The competition to be present and popular on platforms like Facebook, Instagram and X has raised serious questions about the thinking and understanding of the society. In the desire of getting a few seconds of fame and millions of views, many people have started putting their responsibility, wisdom and even their lives at stake.
In the last few years, the trend of reel and short videos has increased rapidly. Initially this trend was limited to creativity and entertainment, but now this obsession is proving dangerous for many people. The desire to go viral has increased so much that people are not hesitating to do risky and deadly stunts. At some places, videos are being made while standing on the sides of tall buildings, while at other places stunts are being done in front of fast-moving vehicles. All this just so that the video reaches more and more people and the number of likes and shares increases.
A video that recently surfaced on social media presents an example of this dangerous thinking. Seeing this video, people are surprised as well as angry. In the viral clip, a young man is seen lying on the railway track. The surrounding environment appears not normal but full of tension. It can be clearly seen in the video that a friend of the young man is seen giving him instructions and recording the entire incident in the mobile camera.
As soon as the high-speed train comes on the track, the young man lies down completely on the tracks without any fear. The next moment the train passes over it. This scene is so horrifying that anyone watching the video can take their breath away. A small mistake could have cost him his life, but despite this the young man executed this dangerous stunt.
What happens after the train passes is even more shocking. When the young man is saved safely, he starts jumping with joy, as if he has achieved some great achievement. Instead of fear or regret, pride and enthusiasm are clearly visible on his face. Seeing all this the question arises whether a few seconds of popularity has become more valuable than human life?
The most surprising thing is that during this entire incident his friend remains present there and keeps making videos without any interruption. Neither does he stop him from doing so nor does he try to make him realize the danger. This clearly means that this stunt was pre-planned and its purpose was only to get views and likes by posting it on social media. This video has been shared on the social media platform by a user named @ankurtweetsyo and it went viral in no time.
Pure stupidity in the name of content
