THE BACKSTORY: Davis, a 21-year-old train enthusiast, shot many videos of trains while living in Augusta. The Greenbrier High School grad­uate now lives in Green­wood, S.C. – and works as a conductor – but said one video stood out.

“There was a big problem with cars running the tracks in front of trains,” he said.

Davis set his camera up on Riverwalk Augusta and shot vehicles narrowly dodging a train, NS 156, as it was leaving Augusta.

“A lot of people think it’s fake,” he said. “It was a complete shock when the video took off. My e-mail blew up. I still get at least five comments a day.”

JEWISH NEW YEAR

TITLE: Because It’s Rosh Hashanah!

VIEWS: 160,022 and counting

UPLOADED: By Rabbi Davis Sirull (Aug. 23, 2012)

THE VIDEO: An original Jewish New Year greeting recorded and sung by the rabbi of Adas Yeshurun Synagogue in Augusta.

THE BACKSTORY: “It’s a part of our tradition to send out Jewish New Year cards. People just don’t do it anymore because of Facebook and e-mail,” said Sirull, who also sings at local events and has released two CDs.

Sirull’s kids and members of his congregation appear in the video, produced by Bryton Entertainment in North Augusta.

After being featured on the news in Israel, “The Rosh Hashanah video got into more homes and countries than we ever thought it was.”

The rabbi reports that a new, original video is on its way for Passover 2013.

A SHORT LEASH

TITLE: Mrs. Bojangles’ Goes on Her First Walk

VIEWS: 464,382 and counting

UPLOADED: By Nikki Daniel (Dec. 23, 2006)

THE VIDEO: Mrs. Bojangles, an 8-week-old basset hound, struggles with her leash and harness.

THE BACKSTORY: Daniel’s video sat quietly on YouTube for years, until about three or four months ago.

“I had it set up so comments were e-mailed to me. I was like, ‘What is going on? Why are people looking at this 6-year-old video?’ ”

It turned out that a radio station in Winnipeg, Canada, mentioned it on air. It was shared on Reddit next, then Yahoo! Japan. Last week, most of the viewers were in Estonia (No. 1), the U.S. (No. 2) and Japan (No. 3).

And as for Mrs. Bojangles?

She eventually got the hang of her leash, but, “We don’t actually have the dog anymore,” Daniel said.
