Up on the hill we spy them: dark, imposing forms moving through the dense forest. It’s a group of bison wandering wild in Romania’s Făgăraș mountains. I stand silently with my guide Răzvan Dumitrache as the animals graze.

A man on board a Singaporean Airlines flight to Vietnam got his hand stuck in a cup holder while trying to see if it would fit in the hole.
Abraham De Laure, 29, told Singaporean news outlet Mothership in a story published on Monday that his hand was stuck for about 10 minutes. De Laure was on a September 30 flight to Saigon, per Mothership.
"Basically, I let my intrusive thoughts win lah, and I placed my hand in the cup holder to see if it can fit," De Laure told Mothership.
His travel companion, Singaporean influencer Darshen Kuna, filmed the ordeal and uploaded it to TikTok on October 1. Darshen's post has been viewed over 460,000 times as of press time.
Indeed a great way to fly #singaporeairlines #flysq #agreatwaytofly #bestie
"Put butter. Don't call the flight attendant," Abraham could be heard telling Darshen in the video.
"How did you get stuck?" Darshen was heard asking.
A flight attendant was then seen speaking to Abraham and Darshen.
"He got his hand stuck," Darshen told the flight attendant while pointing to Abraham's hand.
"Can I have some butter?" Abraham asked the flight attendant.
The flight attendant tried to help Abraham but wasn't able to lift his hand out. She also told Abraham that she didn't have any butter with her.
TikTok included a warning on Darshen's video, where it told viewers that "participating in this activity could result in you or others getting hurt."
Darshen subsequently uploaded another video to TikTok on Monday, which showed how De Laure managed to extricate his hand from the cup holder.
In the follow-up video, Abraham straightened his arm and managed to wrestle his hand free with brute force.
"I was relieved that it got out," De Laure told Mothership.
De Laure's painful episode amused and intrigued some TikTok users.
"How the hell you handcuff yourself to the cup holder?!" read one comment on TikTok.
"Lesson learned: Don't let your intrusive thoughts win," another person commented.
De Laure did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Insider sent outside regular business hours.
