Whatever caused this Canadian woman to react THIS badly to barely missing a ferry’s departure, we don’t know … but she did, and this is what happened:
Not a lot is known about the origin of this video, or at least its subject, other than that she was attempting to take a ferry from Victoria, British Columbia.

Her epic overreaction, originally uploaded to a Facebook page called "Spotted in Victoria," quickly went viral across a variety of sources and countries.

"This was on New Year’s Eve, so she was maybe coming back from Victoria for a party or a get-together or something, but she’d missed it by three minutes."
Opinion on the video is pretty split between the usual visceral reactions to these things – LOL, shock, awe, WTF, disgust – and hoping she’s okay.
