Eyewitnesses reported that a helicopter hovering in the Gratiot Avenue and Conner Street in the eastern Detitit, threw thousands of cash in the pedestrians underneath, causing a sudden and surreal burst of joy, on Friday afternoon (27.06).
Lisa Naif, an employee in a nearby store estimated that thousands of dollars were thrown by the helicopter. She did not ran to the banknotes she was falling, but on the contrary she watched, enjoying this surreal scene.

“There were so many people, they were really crazy,” he said.
Toney said all six lanes along the Gratiot were stopped for several minutes, as people stopped their cars -some right in the middle of the road -before they went and run to the banknote they were falling.
Police, Detroitnews writes, arrived at the scene and closed a part of the avenue for about 30 minutes.
The money was apparently the last wish of the owner of a nearby car washing machine. According to the medium, the man recently died of Alzheimer’s and his funeral was on Friday.
