At least that’s how it seems to have been, since a recording began to circulate on social networks in which you can see a crowd of people dancing on a bus station and to the rhythm of some very sexy steps of twerkingyou can see the moment when those involved suffer a painful fall, an act that soon went viral.
The video begins by focusing on a woman who wears an olive green outfit, who can be seen very happy showing a sexy movement of her hips and then twerk a little while the crowd applauds him excitedly.

Everything seemed to be going amazing, but after showing her talent for dancing, in another scene you can see the same woman sitting on the edge of the bus shelter while, behind her, there are several boys with flags moving to the rhythm of the music.
However, the structure of the bus station did not support so much weight, so it broke and caused a painful fall to all the partygoers who danced on top of it. Although they were not the only ones who were injured, since one of the most affected in the incident was a girl who was passing under it, since not only did the collapsed structure fall on her, but also the people who descended with the broken part.
Despite how dramatic and shocking the accident looks, everything seems to indicate that it did not happen to majors, since, according to reports from the London Metropolitan Police, when they arrived at the scene, there were only two people injured.
The clip with the tragic end of these people who twerked about the parabus during the Notting Hill Carnival soon went viral on Twitter and Instagram, where Internet users did not stop sharing and having fun with the people who began to dance in a place that did not support their weight and ended up falling to the ground and not necessarily with their dance steps.
Although there were some users who did not see the carelessness of these people, the corresponding authorities indicated that this was the least of the inconveniences, since the event left a balance of 76 people arrested, one person murdered and the death of one of the horses of police.
