Users Reaction to the Video

One of the users said, “When the incident happened, if someone had given cpr immediately, that person would have been alive today!! Creating awareness among people is more about cpr, rather than making videos!! Jai Jagannath.”

Another one wrote, “This is heartbreaking. Loss of life with incidents like these on the rise make you realize how fragile life is, for everyone watching. For us, its a fleeting moment but for the dead persons family its all they have which has been taken away from them.

Om Shanti to the departed soul. May he bless his family from the beyond and give them blessings to bear this immense irreparable loss.”
