The couple, caught by surprise, found themselves stranded atop their vehicle as water surged around them. However, what truly caught the attention of netizens was the couple’s calm demeanor throughout the ordeal.
Stranded for Hours Amid Flash Flood
The couple’s car was swept away by the powerful current while they attempted to cross the river. For two hours, they remained stranded, enduring the continuous flow of water surrounding them.
Local residents, upon noticing their distress, attempted to help, but the strong river currents made it difficult for rescuers to approach safely. The risky conditions complicated rescue efforts significantly.
Viral Video Captures Public Attention
The video, shared on September 9, has since gone viral, garnering over eight lakh views and close to 9,000 likes. Viewers were quick to comment on the couple’s surprising calmness amidst such chaos, with many expressing their amazement in the comments section.
Reactions from Social Media Users
One user humorously noted, “How are they so unbothered!” Another person, Naresh, quipped, “They may have more serious problems rather than a flood.” A third added, “Only a plate of samosas is missing.
Otherwise, there is no shortage of comfort; we will think about the disaster some other time.” Another observer pointed out, “What else could they do? Panicking has no solution. They probably knew the rain had stopped and the water level might go down.”
The incident, although tense, showcased the couple’s calm resilience, leaving a lasting impression on those who watched the video.
