Coming around a corner and bumping into that would get my attention.

Especially if there are males and females that escaped.

"pictures ... on Twitter are surreal."
At least one of your photos posted here was a copyright restricted photograph taken by an Associated Press photographer then pasted here and alleged to be a part of your breaking news "surreal" story.
That copyrighted Associated Press photo was actually taken at a Wal-Mart in Apopka, Florida, USA and then published on October 21, 2013.
