Man Jumps off Tower Bridge into Thames on a dare, Didn’t Go Well

A British YouTuber was rescued from the River Thames on Thursday after jumping off Tower Bridge in what he later said was his “stupidest idea ever.”

Shah Faisal Shinwari, whose YouTube channel Carnage has more than 27,000 subscribers, leapt from the bridge following a dare from a viewer. Things quickly escalated, though, and Shinwari found himself swept up in the Thames’ currents.

“It originally was a dare from one of my subscribers, and I attempted it as I like doing crazy shit,” he wrote. “This was later very regretted by me and I realized it was the stupidest idea ever. Thanks for watching!”

Such stunts should not be promoted and seriously condemned, Social media is getting out of hands and people just to take 15 minutes of fame and gain some followers, can go to extreme lengths. Use social media responsibly.
