13 HOURS OF TERROR AS A MASSIVE ELEPHANT BREAKS FREE, ATTACKS ITS HANDLER AND TEARS THROUGH AN INDIAN TOWN! What began as preparations for a traditional religious performance in Varanasi, India, turned into absolute chaos on Sunday, October 18. An elephant named Dhanraj reportedly snapped its iron chain, attacked its longtime handler and went on a destructive rampage that lasted approximately 13 HOURS. The terrifying ordeal began around 10:30 a.m. Handler critically injured: The elephant reportedly grabbed its mahout, Chhaplu, with its trunk and slammed him against a wall, causing serious injuries to his chest, thigh and hand. Power knocked out: Dhanraj uprooted electrical poles, disrupting electricity in the surrounding area. Businesses destroyed: Shops, motorcycles, market structures, tin roofs and trees were damaged as the enormous animal moved through the streets. Emergency response: Police, forest officials, disaster response personnel and zoo specialists were called in to contain the elephant. It wasn’t until approximately 11:30 p.m. that authorities finally managed to tranquilize Dhanraj and bring the rampage to an end. The scheduled religious performance was postponed. AND HERE’S ANOTHER DISTURBING DETAIL: According to reports, Dhanraj had allegedly displayed similar aggressive behavior just weeks earlier, reportedly following a delay in feeding. The handler was hospitalized in critical condition. WATCH THE VIDEO. It’s a frightening reminder of just how powerful these magnificent animals are and how quickly a situation can become deadly. If this elephant had already shown dangerous behavior, why was it still being used at a public event? https://t.co/hC3Eb0aJn9
