Mad Dash As Truck Spills 100,000 Dollars Onto US Street

CHICAGO (AFP) – People fell onto a bag of cash like a pack of hungry piranhas after more than 100,000 dollars tumbled out the back of an armored truck onto an Ohio street, local media reported.
  The bag split open after it fell off the back of the vehicle Wednesday and the driver drove away without noticing.
  But a whole bunch of people spotted the cash blowing down the street in Whitehall, a Columbus suburb, and a mad dash for cash ensued.
  "People were jumping out of their vehicles," one witness told NBC4 news.
  "Like when you throw some fish in and you've got a school of piranhas and they haven't eaten for a long time. It was funny."
  Another witness described a surreal atmosphere with people laughing, smiling and taking as much as they could carry.
  Workers at a nearby flower shop helped police gather up the money in boxes. Several people ended up bringing some of the cash into the police station.
  But only about 10,500 dollars had been recovered by the end of the day, the Columbus Dispatch reported.
  "We're hoping that more people do the right thing," Whitehall Police Sergeant Randy Snider told the paper.
  Police are examining surveillance camera video and photographs from cell phone cameras to try to track down the people who grabbed the money.
