Dude Wrecking Himself Trying A Backflip Encapsulates Eagles Fans Celebrating Team Going To Superbowl

Posted • January 29, 2025: Dude Destroying Himself Attempting A Backflip Perfectly Encapsulates Eagles Fans Celebrating Their Team Going To The Superbowl — Police are investigating after a video on social media showed a man firing a gun into the air at Frankford and Cottman avenues after the Birds' victory. The mayor said Northeast Philadelphia detectives have video, and she expects an arrest to be made. "If I could ask Philadelphians to do anything, you don't want to be in a celebratory moment to have a tragedy occur," Parker said. "You don't want that. So please, please don't shoot guns in the air." A man seen in one video atop a pole at 15th and Market streets is in critical condition after falling to the ground. Nick Alessandro from Blackwood, New Jersey, was in the crowd celebrating and witnessed the incident.

"He was trying to take down the Eagles flag from the pole, and I guess he lost his balance and then fell," Alessandro said. "And then everyone swarmed toward him, but other people went away. It was a mess." A second person is in critical condition at a hospital after police sources say he attempted an unsuccessful backflip. City officials will meet to discuss how to best prepare for a possible even bigger celebration less than two weeks away.
