As it turned out, this was the last will of one of the city's residents. 
A Detroit car wash owner decided to organize an attraction of unprecedented generosity in the form of "helicopter money" after his death. Due to the money that fell from the sky, traffic was blocked on the six-lane road near Garriott Street. Pedestrians and drivers jumped out onto the roadway. Some of them began to fill their pockets, while others simply watched the unusual spectacle.
The police arrived at the scene only half an hour later, but they did not have to detain people or even shoot. Despite the excitement, there were no brawls in the fight to get a piece of the "American dream".
Local media do not even report the approximate amount of money thrown from the helicopter. They write about thousands of dollars. Therefore, it can be assumed that small bills were dropped. It is noted that the owner of the money was buried on June 27, the man suffered from Alzheimer's disease. With the "money rain" he wanted to demonstrate his love for society, the media write.
Eyewitnesses said that they were shocked by the sight they saw, comparing it to Hollywood films. They called the gesture of the deceased beautiful, adding that almost everyone at the place where the money was dropped got "a little bit" of cash.
