A helicopter rained money down on Gratiot Avenue in Detroit near Conner Street on Friday.

The cash drop was about $50,000. Traffic was stopped, people got out of their vehicles, and pedestrians ran out into the street for the money grab.

Surprisingly, there were no fights and no reports of violence.

The money drop was reportedly the last wish of a beloved local car wash owner, Darryl Thomas, who passed away from Alzheimer’s Disease. His funeral took place earlier the same day as the helicopter cash drop.

His last wish was to bless some people in his neighborhood.
