8 years ago, a traffic jam was caused by the brief but intense Pokémon Go craze. This video shows the utter chaos that followed after a Snorlax was found to lurk in a busy Taipei intersection.
One can never know what to expect when taking off for work in the morning. Sometimes a flat tire gets in the way, and sometimes it's an enormous sleeping Ghibliesque beast.
From instagram:
"In 2016, the launch of Pokémon Go in Taiwan caused quite a stir when a Snorlax, a rare and beloved Pokémon, appeared in a busy area of Taipei near the
Beitou Park.
Snorlax's appearance triggered a massive rush of hundreds of players trying to catch it.
This event caused significant congestion, with traffic coming to a standstill as crowds of people filled the streets."
