UPDATE 4/8/20 10:50 A.M. PST: The person behind the camera, Prophet Amen Ra, gave TMZ some answers. According to the man who recorded the crazy scene, fire alarms were going off at the Studio 6 motel in Commerce, CA, and motel workers couldn’t get into the second story room because it was locked. Apparently, a staffer smashed a window to get inside and open the door — causing water to start pouring out of it.
The guy who jumped over the railing to flee the second floor was allegedly trying to escape a motel employee’s grasp. Staffers claim the jumper had turned on all the faucets in the room, and also busted pipes in the ceiling, racking up damages totaling $10,000. The guest claims the room merely flooded, per the outlet.
As seen in the video (below), the man hopped over the railing onto a parked Nissan Murano and slipped while climbing down the vehicle, leaving a huge dent in the hood. The LA County Fire and Sheriff’s Departments both responded. TMZ reports that neither the car owner nor the hotel management wanted to press charges, as the jumper said he had no malicious intent.
If anyone needs a visual representation of how 2020 is going so far, this is it.
Twitter is perplexed by a surreal viral video that, honestly, looks like a deleted scene from a David Lynch film that David Lynch took out because it was too weird. It’s unclear what exactly is going on, but the clip starts off with a group of people in chaos as a mystery flood pours out of the second story of a California motel.
The guest are seemingly driven mad (thanks to weeks of quarantine, we presume) as one man tries to get down from the second story of the building by, we kid you not, jumping over the balcony railing onto the parked car below him, causing him to slip down the soaking wet vehicle and fall on the ground — and leave a HUGE dent on the hood of the car.

As the now soaking wet man hides near some bushes (???) and facility workers with face masks try to investigate the source of the flooding, a woman and young girl scream at the top of their lungs, providing an all-too accurate depiction of the world’s current mental state.
The confusing clip quickly went viral after it was shared by Late Night with Seth Meyers writer, Mike Scollins. Ch-ch-check out the madness (below):

Some Twitter users simply gave their commentary on the chaotic scene, writing:
“I can guarantee that maid doesn’t get paid enough to deal with this.”
“when he hid behind the bush hahaha”
“That Nancy Kerrigan scream though.”
“I am fascinated by the psychology behind that man thinking it was necessary or appropriate to do that.”
“Mr Bean written and directed by Lars Von Trier”
Others, meanwhile, were begging for more context, tweeting:
“What is going on I have so many questions”
“I will not be able to sleep until I know the backstory here.”
“But… why the screaming?!”
“I want to know everyone was so intent on stopping him from jumping”
Thankfully, other Twitter sleuths were quick to give their theories, musing:
“Fire alarm, looks like fire brigade water-hosing an apparent through an outside window, explaining the water, this guy panics… and the rest is history”
“Maybe it’s not water but some kind of acid or alcohol or something”
“[The screaming woman’s] husband was a scientist who got trapped inside a teleportation machine with her car and he slowly turned into the car. That’s why she’s over the top hysterical about it.”
At this point, we’d believe anything!
What do U think is going on in this video, Perezious readers?!
