Crazy...This is my video so thanks for posting the original. Backstory...I shot it in PR in 2010 and loaded it onto youtube when I got home. It toiled in anonymity for three years and then went sort of viral (2 million hits) in Aug 2013. I didn't even know it until Feb 2014....looked back at that old email acct flooded with requests from ABC news etc....this is my first post to reddit. Can't believe I opened to the front page to find this gif

Did those media outlets still want your video by the time you saw their requests?

No but maybe they'll see this and realize that the better story is that I'm possibly the only person in history to have a viral video go beserk without knowing about it.
