Blindfolded Utah Teen Crashes Car Doing The 'Bird Box' Challenge

https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/utah-teen-crash-bird-box-challenge_us_5c3908cae4b01c93e009e011

Layton Police spokesman Lt. Travis Lyman told CBS News that a 17-year-old girl was driving with a 16-year-old passenger at the time of the crash.

The “Bird Box” challenge, which has gone viral on social media, is inspired by the Netflix movie “Bird Box,” starring Sandra Bullock. In the movie, characters have to move about the outside world wearing blindfolds to avoid looking at an unseen monster that forces people to kill themselves.

In the viral challenge, participants attempt to do ordinary things while blindfolded, which, again, is dangerous for obvious reasons

I would ask who didn't see that coming but the answer is right in the question.

The idiots obviously didn't see the obvious coming.

Yes, BirdBox isnt original.

When i saw it, i knew. I am waiting for the sequel to the Quiet Place. Maybe BirdBox too.

A Quiet Place is from April 2018 and is not from a book.

"Malerman wrote the rough draft of Bird Box prior to the release of the 2008 M. Night Shyamalan film The Happening and the 2009 film The Road "

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bird_Box

"A Quiet Place (film)

The film entered development when Beck and Woods began developing a story that would lead into the film. In July 2016, Krasinski read a spec script and was hired to direct and rewrite the script in March the following year. "

I really can't find any evidence that one was based or copied from the other or vice versa.
