An influencer from the Czech Republic delighted people when he dropped $1 million from a helicopter. Kamil Bartoshek is a well-known vlogger, Instagrammer, and TikToker who has built up a sizable following on social media platforms in the country. He is a presenter on one of the most popular talent shows in the country.
He had informed the participants of his contest that a cargo helicopter would fly over their area with a container under it carrying a million dollars in one-dollar bills. The container had a door that would open at the precise moment, and the money would be released in an instant. The participants were to be informed of the exact time and place a few hours before the event.
A horde of excited fans took to the field, where they were expected to receive their share of the fortune. They had shopping bags and umbrellas ready to collect their cash from the heavens. When the time came, a helicopter hovered above the field, and a trap door opened. The money fluttered down from the sky in a scene worthy of a movie.
Several people grabbed the money from the air using their shopping bags and umbrellas. Those lucky enough to have a good view of the scene used their mobile phones to film the event.
Various news outlets in the country covered the event, including the national broadcaster TVN. The videos of the event soon went viral. They were viewed by thousands of people from around the world.
Kamil Bartoszek, known by his pseudonym Kazma, had initially planned to bestow a considerable sum of money on just one winner under a contest. However, he had to change his plans when the participants needed help to crack the code embedded in his movie ‘Onemanshow: The Movie’ to locate the money.
