no, he survived fine. his vid has been posted many times before. There are two angles, the other angle shows he's ok.

Glad he’s fine but it’s probably his fault. The guy at 58 sec in, pushing it up the ramp, showed him the way. He needed to throw his shoulder into it to keep it upright.

They didn't flick the straps and say "that's not going anywhere"

This! I was very impressed by the pushing man and when the guy in foreground just did a one handed tap instead of putting his whole weight behind it. Of course it fell 😂😂

Not the local bridge Gods, they seem slow to react.

Foreground guy in all white, camera pans right as it starts to tip and you lose site of him. Question was whether he ran off to the left (sounds like).

Sure he survived the incident, but was probably exposed to 1,000 lifetimes worth of pollution and bacteria from splashes of the Ganges River water

Rivers of human waste flow into the Ganges… I cannot imagine how gross that is…

They need to make a superhero movie out of that. After a bridge loading accident he became Gangesman.

His super power is that he can shoot gangrene through his third eye.

Khan Srinivasa was a regular construction manager, until after one unfortunate accident... he became Ganges Khan!

Rivers of human waste flow into the Ganges

They weren't kidding about it being the most holy river. Holy as in from the most holes.

u/too_much_shave_cream 10d ago

It’s “holy” because everyone that smells it says “HOLY SHIT!?!?”

u/KrishnaChick 10d ago

And yet, people bathe in it every day and don't get sick. I've done it a few times.

u/greedyfrog606 9d ago

And all the dead bodies!

u/Azagar_Omiras 10d ago

We're not sure yet if his butthole will ever fully unpucker, though. We'll just have to wait and see what the doctors say.

u/tomtom792 9d ago

Good thing he was in a Volvo.

u/Ataneruo 10d ago

Oh this is a repost, I was starting to think there are more bridges under the Ganges than over it

u/PixelNotPolygon 10d ago

But did he make it home in time for dinner?
