On December 15, 2020, a young woman's selfie attempt at Ogis Beach in Riau, Pelalawan, Meranti Bay, Indonesia, went viral for all the wrong reasons. The incident occurred during a rare natural phenomenon called "wave bono," which produces a large wave when the tide comes in against the current of a river or narrow bay. Wave bono is a unique spectacle that occurs only in certain parts of the world, including Riau.

While the woman was recording her video selfie, the incoming wave suddenly became much stronger than usual, almost resembling a tsunami. The wave engulfed her, knocking her down and sweeping her away. However, despite the danger, the woman continued recording the video, and miraculously, she survived the ordeal.
