William James was shocked.
He didn't even think the 20-second video he took, uploaded to YouTube, then posted to his Twitter would create an Internet storm
He wasn't a social media influencer and no more than one hundred people on Twitter followed him. Most of them were his real friends with the rest of his following consisting of strangers. He didn't expect that just two hours after uploading the video, the video would become viral and easily broke the 100,000 mark, rapidly moving towards the 500,000 views.
Happiness came too suddenly and too inexplicably.
William didn't realize what was going on and just watched his Twitter followings skyrocketing.
Two hours ago, he saw a meteor outside the window of the space elevator.
That's right, it was a meteor!
