With the recent case of people looting goods from an overturned truck going viral, this story is a breath of fresh air.
A video of boxes full of soft drink bottles falling from a truck when it turned right at a traffic light went viral on the internet recently. What really made the video go viral, however, was what happened after the soft drinks fell.
According to China Xinhua News, the incident in the video happened in Nanjing, China. A truck which was carrying hundreds of soft drink bottles was turning right at the traffic light when the bottles tumbled onto the road from the truck.
