One time I was travelling through Latin America and we stopped somewhere at a food place by the road. They said: see that huge rock in the field there? One time many years ago there was a circus in town, and everybody in the town went, and it was in that field. But then there was an earthquake, and a mudslide started, and it was wiping everything out. But a clown managed to get a bunch of kids to safety and they huddled on that rock while the mud wiped out everything around them, killing everyone else in the town.
Maybe it was all BS but it was a pretty vivid image. (edit: OMFG I remembered it mostly right.)
There's a memorial in my town for a department store Santa Claus who rescued a bunch of people from a fire and then died in that fire.
That's wild, thanks for sharing.
Very great read , wild
I can definitely think of worse ways to spend my final moments
Being scalded to death in a vat of boiling toothpaste that you are dipped into head-first while being held by clamps attached to your toes would certainly be far less pleasant.
Especially if it was that bubble gum toothpaste they give to kids.

Eating cheese balls anonymously is the best way to eat cheese balls.
Oh, good to know, and here I was thinking that it was improper infrastructure and safety inspections, but sure, blame the clown, okay... 🙄
Same thought. That's gotta be a pretty shitty bridge.
You didn't have to add the murder clown picture though.
Okay, here's a happy scene instead :-P
Perfect for a kid's birthday party.
Absolutely, give the kid as a gift!
This was intentional.
The clown was just an automaton, the geese needed to draw a crowd so when people fell into the water the geese could easily eat them.
In 2019, several hundred people went to a vacant lot in Philly to celebrate an event they knew was not happening. In 2020, another couple hundred people went to an abandoned pier in Philly to watch a man eat an entire rotisserie chicken in one sitting, for the 40th day in a row. Things haven't changed that much.
What's the death count at those events though? Did any of them require major construction to restore the damage done to critical public infrastructure?
not the point
Netflix unfortunately does not produce this kind of content.
Im not even sure I would stop to take a picture on my phone if I saw that today.
Sure, there's lots of other entertaining things to do, but a bridge collapse isn't exactly boring.
And a video of geese attacking people trying to get to safety while a clown desperately tries to stop them only for the geese to then turn and gang up on the clown has to have high viral potential.
All those people dying violently really stole that poor clown's thunder.
As if any of us would be allowed to leave work to go watch a clown be pull upriver in a bathtub by geese.
