The pikachu costume dude running LOL
what time
0:55
🤣🤣🤣🤣 yes
And minnie mouse and a set of twins
I know it’s serious but I lost it at that part
Even though the noise was harmless it's still depressing to see everyone running because they fear their lives are in danger.
Probably the same reaction in July 2020 when 1 person sneezes or coughs....
We’re in July, can’t confirm this though
Katayuki Inabaツ Were in October now
@Ryan wiranata were in March now
The funniest comment ever, i so needed a laugh today
We’re in July 2021 now
I was where it all started i didnt hear nothing but I ran.
BLVD BULLY lmao 😂😭
@asian dude nope I was visiting on vacation
@@blvdbully57 what was it like seeing people around you run? did you follow the herd or did you run off into a building?
@@than.imeiii people scattered so quick didnt feel like a herd it was scary as fuck i ran around the corner to a parking garage
Why are there so many people? Don’t they know that the Coronavirus is killing people?
Okay, my fear of crowds is growing now.
Same... I may very well become a recluse in the wilderness 🤠
Every time I see people en masse I think of the Zapocolypse. Freaks me out. But this is a whole other mood
Dude I hate being in crowds
Isn't it a shame . Jumpy in our own
7 months later, how about now? 😷
0:56 Pikachu was like “you ain’t killing me today” 🏃♂️💨 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
XD
Omg the costume characters running made me laugh so hard I’m sorry
Dont be sorry they are all scammers
I said same thing
Ikr
Watching 2 Minnie Mouses and a Pikachu running for their lives was pretty funny, despite the reason why.
Nah that had me crying 🤣 like not pika and minnie running 😭
Pikachu I choose you!
Pikachu - NO WAY!!!! 0:55
Imagine being there talking with your friends then all of a sudden see a stampede of scared citizens running towards you? I would honestly be in shock...
@Kelp Farming but then there are always those few people who just stand there and let it happen
@@than.imeiii they are the normal ones. 1. It is pathetic that people cannot tell the difference from a backfire and a firearm. 2. Pathetic that they just go into panic mode.
@@BaptistJoshua No, it isn't lmao.
@@than.imeiii let what happen? A motorcycle farting?
@@tomemeornottomeme1864 exactly, its worse than that. It's totally disgusting.
The way the people in the Elmo, Mario, Minnie, and Pikachu costumes tear off the heads while running 😂💀
Those people are scammers
and spiderman too
@jonthegamerboy.....THIS comment is gold!!
I know it was probably scary but I'm here cryin over Minnie, Mario and Pikachu running at 0:55 😂😂😭😭💀
And Spider-Man hiding under a parasol, with Elmo running next to him.
@@arcyarcanine wait what time
This some good social engineering i am witnessing.
Now you have me going back and where’s Waldo-ing this lol
@@chrystal.9164 pika is @1:02
I heard the motorcycle in the first clip (revving its engine) but I didn't hear the backfire. I have heard what sounds like backfire when such a motorcycle rev's its engine before, so I can imagine the reason for the reaction.
Dex Dillon iv seen other clips and the backfire was so loud It sounded like a real gun. This earthcam was too far for the motorcycle’s backfire to be heard.
No...it sounds more farty.
@@MyChannel10198 Can you link me one of those other clips, please?
@@SaschaEderer czcams.com/video/jUyJBwVmzHs/video.html It's brief because the camera was probably cut off when they heard it to run, but it's near the middle of the video
Reinhard Müller At times. But I have been around several that backfires several times at once with a very loud cracking sound. If you are in 10 feet of it your ears are ringing.
I acknowledge the seriousness of this situation, but seeing Minnie running for her life is sending me 😭
also mario and pikachu 😭
I never expected this golden comment to show up but thanks 😭
i was in Olive Garden and i was just eating my bread under the table
Only the car and bike people stayed wanting to hear more of that exhaust pop.
Alas, many would never stand a chance if that happened...
@1:36 the man in the baseball cap on the Billboard is like Man, these people are tripping out here.
This actually made me emotional. Watching in 2021. That's why.
Why?
I'd be more worried about getting crushed by the crowd..
When you disturb an ant pile
great way to make a prank lol
Damn, it's that is so sad. People could have been seriously hurt in that stampede, and all because we have to live in such fear of this happening to us and our loved ones. Absolutely sickening.
i like the girl with good eyes who reacts at 0:50
My City is still healing from 911🙏
Run Pikachu ! Ruuuuun !
Nice Pacman user icon
0:57 LMAO PIKACHU
Oh god This gave me chills, first time I have seen it. 😱😭😰
I’m wearing my airpods and hear no backfire from a motorcycle like everybody else say
the people were already running right when the vid started so i assume it was before it was filmed
Uncle Bobby true but who knows if I was there I would know it a motorcycle because I always listen to sounds when I’m outside if I hear a car screeching the tires I know someone is either going to shoot or drive like a maniac also if I hear a stick shift car reving then hear backfires I know it a car
@@vce.john1734 im thinking that way too, but it only takes one person to lose their shit and all the dominos start falling. With all these shootings and the gun craze in murica people seem to be constantly in fear of that. The rest will start following, the running become the majority. Most people will blindly act like the majority. Stampede, one of the worst ways to die and sadly its pretty easy to happen.
Even knowing it was all a misunderstanding, Idk why I feel like crying hearing them terrified and panicking. I’m holding back tears
What they think it was another terrorist attack
john 1987 possibly. A lot were confuse but ran anyway🙁
I'm crying from laughter man
I dont care your tears and the people in the video, is just paranoia
@@lorenzogomez8830 You don't care...but you responded to a ten-month-old comment just to let them know that you don't care. Sending a very contradicting statement there.
It’s just heartbreaking to see this.
People are now in constant fear of their lives due to what’s been happening these past months with the mass shootings.😫😨
People are on the verge of breaking down or panicking as soon as they hear a noise or sound knowing that anything could happen at any time.
Gertrude Jones Yep. Anyone can buy a gun and use it. Gotta love trump. (Being sarcastic)
It’s sad, but I don’t think gun laws are the issue here. Do you think a criminal will go and get a gun legally?
you made this comment 3 years ago. it is now 2023 and nothing has changed.
Yeah, and those people are called sheeple, and cowards. Also, democrat voters.
@@alexanderstark5199 you now something, I am beginning to wonder if these lib tards actually believe that.
Still kind of sad and melancholy to see despite the backfire. Just people trying to preserve their one and only chance at life.
Thanks for posting. I have the app, but missed it.
it's like watching world war z / the walking dead scene movie
Exactly
I agree!
I’m glad to know that pilachu is known by many people! I’m from Japan and I like pikachu too♥️
trust me, the whole world knows who pikachu is, im from Mexico tho
"We become what we behold". Google it, what a shame.
The game?
I'm always the last one to run to pick up all the goodies people drop.
Lmao 😂
Saw few iphones on the ground.
to those who DIDN'T read the description: IT WAS A FRICKIN MOTORCYCLE BACKFIRE and they ran because the entire crowd may have PTSD. PTSD from all the shootings.
That gave me chills!
Me too, till I saw Spiderman, Minnie Mouse and Elmo
@@ettydavisand pikachu
0:52 - gf bugs out, bf waits for validation...oh shit, I think I need to run now...
Run Pikachu run...
i can't imagine what that bike guy had gone through
i was in this!! i remember walking past a theater that the lion king play had just let out and i heard what sounded like gunshots and i saw like 5000 people running directly at me. i turned without thinking and booked it full speed. atleast this is documented so i can look back and see this moment in history
I never heard the backfire, couldn't have been that loud.
So very sad.
2021 the scene after someone coughs or sneezes lol
Did someone said "Black friday again" LMAO...
I'm terrified
yesterday (15.05.2021), time square was even more crowded. people didn't even react after cars backfired several times... and there has actually been a shooting just recently. interesting how people's behavior changes over time.
Wow..
imagine in the future someone farts and then a crowd fucking freaks out thinking it was a damn AK-47
HAHAHAHAHAHA.......
I’m watching this the morning after Uvalde shooting. 💔💔💔
Humans know how dangerous it is to get into crowds this large but they still keep doing it.
You are right, but this was
way before covid!
August, 2019
Nancy Desch This was from August of LAST YEAR!!
@@stugotz986 My words!
She should take a look at the Times Square now!
“This is a dark dark day for America.”
-Quentin Trembley, 2012
is that a buoyancy flies reference?
good old days
this is what's called the turkey effect in which one person does something and everyone just follows
At first it looked like a zombie outbreak....
Or.... it's just my imagination....?
There's no need to panic, everyone! It was just a motorcycle backfiring!
lol
Mario is running to get the last copies of Super Mario 3D All Stars in stock at Nintendo's New York Store,
Pikachu is running because Ash dosent leave him alone,
Minnie Mouse is running because she's late to Mickey Mouse's date....
and what about Spider-Man?
He noticed a guy cosplayed as Venom and decided to run away from him.
That was crazy
Oh wow!
YOU WOULD OF THOUGHT GODZILLA WAS THERE.
😹
Looks like a scene out of a Godzilla movie…
In all seriousness, this is what gun violence led to. It’s really sad.
Who's watching this during the Pandemic (August 24 2020)
Madness
Minnie Mouse, Pikachu, followed by blonde twins holding hands while running--almost too theatrical to be believed.
1:22 I like the fact that in all that chaos - there's ONE guy who are just calmy walking straight across through the fleeing swarm of people, while carrying a coke and some fast food! 🤣
I don't know who he is, but I do know this 100% - that guy wouldn't back away from *anything!*
Prob a tourist
me fr
0:56 that pikachu tho LMAO
With so many attacks no wonder they live in fear.. that’s so sad 😞
So many attacks? If people actually knew about firearms, instead of trying to keep them out of the hands of every decent person, they might have known it was just a backfire. Then they all run like deranged chickens. Should have at the least taken up locations of safety, not just run wild away from some suppposed mass shooter.
Someone yelled someone turned green and said run there's an 👽
LMAO can you imagine the guy on bike watching everybody running from him like psychos?
Was it 3 motorcycle gansta's muffler's sounding like gunshots ?
0:54 ¡Vamos! Minnie Mouse, Mario, and Pokemon
This feels like the Shibuya scenes in resident evil afterlife tbh...
0:58 pikachu went running as well
Spongebob "RUN!! EVERYBODY RUN!! MONSTER!!!"
LMAO THE PIKACHU GUY
Me knowing what a dirtbike sounds like:stands in the middle of time square doing orange justice:💃
how easy it is to create chaos. chaos alone can cause multiple deaths without even any danger
THE PANIC, WHAT A WONDERFUL SIGHT!!!
Me: i thought ya wanna see big apple fellas where ya going big fellas?
Man its the pokemon go syndrom all over again but this time they hunt us
Then today, when there actually was a shooter, no one ran >_
Imagine standing there doing nothing
That's one way to clear the streets of Times Square
What are the running from?
What happened?
Starting to feel bad at the old lady , looking around what was happening 1:25
Motorcycle guy: FOREVER ALONE
Everyone thought it was a shooter but it just a motorcycle accidentally over-starting the engine lol
my cousin survived a shooting, my little cousin survived a shooting, they both went to school and I was about to experience a shooting at my school, so I understand the panic of all those people
Look up john 3:16
Don't panic, get down, I heard "firecrackers" coming towards me awhile back, got the f down...
@@666Musik then can you look up John 3 16 please
@@NWF2.0 why?
And yet there's still not a clear view of what happened....
Well now we know how to clear a crowd. It worked.
usa --is a shit hole
And that is the reason why, you never go out at night.
Until you are an adult. 🤨
@@BaptistJoshua yes. 😀
it looked like first there was like zombie apocalypse coming XD
There are very few people on the street. There are also few cars.
Who has not watched the movie "Infection" ???
Plandemic is much better. It's actually based on a true story.
Like watching a bunch of ants scatter.
Why are they all running?
This looks like the stampede in lion king
Why are they running????
So many people just stayed there
It's new york city.. Pop 8 million It was packed at this i'm sure... people were being trampled as it was so getting under was the only thing you could do
run! why? because everyone else is running!
Why did they all run?
wow and i thought these apes were like overly superior to us pigeons
