The ever-evolving ways in which people are pocketing cash on the web are nothing short of fascinating and, at times, downright mind-boggling. After all, who could’ve ever imagined that sharing something utterly bizarre, even if it garners attention for all the wrong reasons, could be a goldmine on the micro-blogging platform ‘X’? And yet, a similar twist of fate unfolded on YouTube when a content creator became a sensation for sharing CCTV footage from a single, notorious location in Lucknow. What’s the catch? They earn a pretty penny by sharing accident videos from this peculiar spot, which they’ve cheekily dubbed the ‘Bermuda Triangle,’ a vaguely-defined area in the western North Atlantic Ocean famous for reports of numerous aircraft and ships mysteriously vanishing.
Recently, a post on ‘X,’ shared by the user @3rdEyeDude, brought this YouTube channel into the spotlight while featuring one of their compilation videos. The caption read, “The owner of the CCTV has monetized his entire YouTube channel based on this just one CCTV located at a junction where accidents take place pretty much everyday. He calls this location as “The Bermuda Triangle” and it totally makes sense.”
Take a Look:

In fact, the YouTube channel in question, @ModBiz, is full of videos that unveil the drama of unsuspecting vehicles colliding at a U-turn, right in front of the CCTV hotspot. The sheer volume of accidents documented at the very same location, spanning from more than five years ago to as recently as four months ago, has utterly captivated the internet. The YouTube comment section is populated by a loyal following that finds delight in these videos, some even pointing out the reckless driving habits among Indian road users. (It’s worth noting that the videos do not feature any severe accidents.)
