Tourists flip gondola after refusing to stop taking selfies

This is the best summary I could come up with:

A group of tourists fell in a Venice canal when their gondola capsized after they reportedly ignored orders to stop taking selfies.

But they apparently ignored him and all the weight ended up on one side, capsizing the boat and flipping them into the cold canal.

Onlookers filmed Saturday's spectacle and footage of the drenched tourists clinging to the boat went viral on sites like TikTok.

There are persistent complaints about over-tourism in the Italian city, with holidaymakers and cruise ship daytrippers packing Venice for most of the year.

It was revealed last week that a €5 daily charge will be introduced from next year for visitors on certain days between April and July.

In 2021, Venice also banned cruise ships from entering the historic centre amid concerns about pollution and erosion of the city's foundations.

- You're griping and whining about "fluff entertainment news" in a community that is literally called "Weird News"?
  Think really, really hard on that for a second.
  
  It's not weird or news. People feel in the water while cruising on one side of a boat. Not weird. Not news. Not entertaining in any way.
- That last line seems like an asshole move to Canadians. If something happens it's not your country's reputation on the line.
