Well, the passengers were not expecting any X-rated source of entertainment on their journey. But it just happened, accidentally and Twitter could not control their humour, ROFLing at the train driver, who apparently did not know that the public announcement system was on. The video quickly made its way to the viral content online and netizens had some amazing reactions.
7. Baby Elephant Dumbo’s Demise at Thailand Zoo
Video of the baby elephant dubbed ‘Dumbo’ was being “forced to rave” for the entertainment of visitors had gone viral. Reportedly, the three-year-old had to perform at least three times a day, and eventually, the little one began to suffer from an infection and died. A scan showed that Dumbo had broken its back legs and three days later, it passed away, raising concerns of the increasing dominance on animals. It is yet another example of how neglected these animals are in captivity.
These were a few, out of too many videos that went viral this week. While some were light-hearted, others such as Dumbo’s demise are only devastating. As the week has ended, let us see what the upcoming week has to offer us online.
