A social media influencer bride, who was having her photo taken with helium balloons on the Bosphorus in Istanbul, experienced horror when sudden strong winds lifted her up with the balloons and dragged her to the seaside.
A social media influencer doing a photo shoot in the Bosphorus experienced terrifying moments when the giant helium balloons she was holding were blown around by strong wind. The woman, who lost her balance due to the wind's force and began to be dragged toward the seaside, narrowly avoided disaster thanks to the timely intervention of bystanders and the photographer.
THE SHOOT TURNED INTO A DANGEROUS MOMENT IN SECONDS
The social media influencer bride, who wanted professional photos taken on the Bosphorus shore, was holding many large helium balloons as part of the concept. However, during the shoot in an open area, the wind suddenly intensified, turning the planned frames into great danger within seconds. The strong wind suddenly began to blow the giant cluster of balloons in the young woman's hands. The influencer bride, who did not let go of the balloons, lost her balance due to the high pulling force. In footage quickly spreading on social media, the young woman was seen initially trying to keep the balloons under control but struggling to stand against the increasing wind.
DRAGGED TOWARD THE SEASIDE
The influencer, whose feet began to slip on the ground due to the wind, was dragged toward the stone structure on the shore and the seaside by the balloons' pulling force. The footage captured dangerous moments when the young woman appeared as if she would lift off the ground for a brief moment.
THE PHOTOGRAPHER DROPPED THE SHOOT AND RUSHED TO HELP
The photographer, who noticed the life-threatening danger at the last moment, dropped the camera and immediately rushed to the bride's aid. Intervening quickly, the photographer held the young woman tightly and prevented her from being dragged further. Thus, the woman's hitting the stone structure on the shore or falling into the sea was prevented at the last moment. It was learned that the social media influencer, who was not injured, continued the photo shoot after getting over the brief panic she experienced.
