It was an ordinary day at the supermarket. Everything was calm and quiet until suddenly several people began screaming in terror.

— Oh my God, they’re alligators!

In the next moment, dozens — maybe even more — alligators entered the store. People ran frantically in all directions, trying to escape the predators. Some, who were closer to the exit, managed to get out, while others climbed onto tables and shelves.

— Where did they come from?!
— How is this possible?!
— God, help us!
— Alligators!… — people shouted from every corner.

The animals, drawn by the smell of food, moved between the aisles, knocking over carts and hissing as they slid across the floor. People tried to hide wherever they could, trembling with fear and unable to believe this was really happening.

Someone quickly called the police, and rescue teams arrived on the scene within minutes. They released tranquilizing gas into the store and led the animals out one by one.

Fortunately, no customers were injured, but the supermarket was left in ruins, and the damage was enormous. The police tried to figure out why the animals were there and where they came from. When the truth was revealed, everyone was horrified. 

Later, it turned out that everything had started with a crazy blogger who wanted to create “the most shocking video in the history of the Internet.”

He had ordered alligators from a private breeder to film a video in which the predators would “storm into” a supermarket while customers “fled in panic.”

It was all supposed to be staged — but something went terribly wrong. The cages weren’t properly secured, and the animals actually broke free.

The camera kept recording as the blogger, trying to save himself, climbed onto a checkout counter to capture “exclusive footage,” not realizing that everything was now happening for real.

When the video hit the Internet, it gained millions of views — but the creator ended up in jail. The irony of fate: he did become famous, but not in the way he had dreamed.
