‘Stupid And Dangerous’: Internet Reacts To Viral Train Photo
The photo is captioned, “ONE OF OUR WILDEST KISSES 😘” and features a couple leaning out of a moving train on what appears to be a mountain. The man has his back to the ground below, and the woman’s leg is lifted on his torso.
It’s an iconic photo…and irresponsible. The photo appeared to be taken in Ella, Sri Lanka, a small town about five hours away from Colombo. It appeared to gain attention after Oscar winner Dave Vesico posted about it on Twitter.
“Is this Instagram’s most dangerous trend?” he wrote.
The couple, who documents their travels under the handle @backpackdiariez, aren’t the only ones to take part in the dangerous fad. Several photos and videos under the Ella, Sri Lanka, geotag feature travelers attempting a similar pose.
Here’s how the internet reacted.
