A US man, known for his lifelong generosity throughout Detroit's Eastside, had one last wish - to give back to his community in an unforgettable way. He wanted a helicopter to shower money from the sky over his funeral.
This was 58-year-old Darrell "Plant" Thomas' final gift to his people. On the day of his funeral, his sons - Darell and Jonte - organised a chopper to drop cash and rose petals.
A video showing thousands of dollars and rose petals dropping from a helicopter onto pedestrians over Gratiot Avenue, near Conner Street, has surfaced online. Approximately $5,000 (Rs 4,27,700) in cash was showered on June 27, around 1 pm.
