On July 9, 2021, heavy rain from Tropical Storm Elsa fell on New York City. This led to a number of viral videos on social media that showed people wading through high water inside a subway station. The videos may have overshadowed a more inspiring moment that happened just above, when at least two New York residents banded together to clear litter from a storm drain on a flooded block.
‘Only in New York’
The original videos that showed New Yorkers clearing a storm drain of litter came from the @antilitterproject Instagram account. They were reposted to TikTok by @mickmicknyc, where they were viewed nearly 4 million times in 24 hours. The same videos were also reposted to Instagram.
