Title:VV5183 Passengers help catch eels scattered on subway
Date:20th August 2026
Summary:On August 18, 2026, in Nanjing, located in eastern China’s Jiangsu province, a video captured an unusual scene on a subway train. An elderly man’s red plastic bucket had tipped over, causing many eels to spill onto the floor and move around inside the carriage. Several passengers bent down and reached out to help catch them. Some people remained seated and did not join in. Chinese netizens said the younger passengers may not have been unwilling to help, but were probably nervous because the eels looked very similar to snakes.
