देहरादून के रिस्पना पुल पर एक आम से लदा ट्रक पलट गया। हादसे में किसी को चोट नहीं आई, मगर सड़क पर बिखरे रसीले आमों ने कुछ लोगों की आँखें चमका दीं। आपदा को अवसर बनाते हुए, कई लोग टोकरी-थैले लेकर आम लूटने में जुट गए, मानो मुफ्त का मेला लग गया हो! pic.twitter.com/NTqz8n4DpR

The video has sparked outrage online, with many raising questions about public behaviour during accidents and a lack of basic empathy on display. 

Reacting to the clip, one user wrote, "Truck containing mangoes overturned in Dehradun & locals, displaying the great Indian civic culture, looted all the mangoes." 

"This is our true reality when it comes to socially involving with community. We are happy when someone is in trouble either to benefit from it or for just ease of inner feeling," commented another. 

"In India when someone is in trouble, people don't help, instead take advantage of the situation for personal gain. Unfortunately it is ingrained in the DNA," wrote a third user. 

"Everyone is liable and eligible to go to jail for theft! They all are thieves! Arrest them all!! It's not possible to arrest all I guess... At least they are not fit to be civilians!" said another. 

"This proves lack of basic necessities amongst people, lack of basic education, healthcare and public infrastructure in India. And most importantly lack of common sense as well," one user commented.
