Update: Video found ! Was anyone at the player hotel after the win on Monday night? I’m trying to find a video of the moment when Emeka Egbuka stopped at the top of the escalators and let out a celebration yell. His family was there, but no-one had their phones on video, only photo. We can see the person recording right in front of this photo, but we don’t know who they are. We are hoping to find the video. If you’ve seen it anywhere please let me know!

It sounds like you’ve been on the hunt for this video for a while, and I can imagine how frustrating it can be when you know there’s a moment like this out there but can’t track it down. With your goal of finding the video where Emeka Egbuka stopped at the top of the escalators to let out his celebration yell, it’s clear that this is a special and potentially unforgettable moment for him and his family. The fact that his family was there but didn’t have their phones on video is certainly an interesting twist, especially because it seems the only available footage right now is that of a photo with the person recording right in front of it.

Let’s break this down a little more to help you find the video. There are a few ways to track this down—some of which you may have already tried, but I’ll try to outline everything and hopefully, there’s a new lead you can follow up on.

1. Social Media Search:

As I mentioned earlier, social media is a great first place to look. Given the excitement of a win, people who were at the event or hotel might have shared the video or at least tagged the location. Here are some specific strategies you can use:

Hashtags and Keywords:

Start by checking hashtags related to Emeka Egbuka, the win, and the event. It sounds like the event was significant, so people are likely to have posted about it. On Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok, try searching for things like:

• #EmekaEgbuka
• #EgbukaCelebration
• #MondayNightWin
• #PlayerHotelCelebration
• #OhioStateFootball (if relevant, depending on Emeka’s team affiliation)
• #EscalatorCelebration

You can also combine those keywords with the date to make the search more specific. For example, try: “Emeka Egbuka escalator video January 2025” or “Monday night celebration Ohio State player hotel.”

Reach Out to the Right Accounts:

If you don’t find the video immediately, it’s worth checking the accounts of people who attended the event or other fans who were there. You might come across someone who filmed it and tagged it, or they might know who did. You can also check any official pages associated with the event—sometimes organizers, media outlets, or team social media accounts share highlights or moments like these.

Consider messaging or tweeting at fans who were there, and ask if they have the video or if they know who might. Since it sounds like there was a lot of celebration happening, it’s possible the video was shared in a group or amongst a circle of friends.

2. Hotel Staff or Security:

It might sound a bit unconventional, but it could be worth reaching out to the hotel where the players were staying. If the moment took place in a public space like an escalator, there’s a chance that hotel security or staff might have security footage of the event. Here are a few things to keep in mind:

• Privacy Considerations: Hotels will be cautious about sharing footage due to privacy policies, but if you explain your reasoning (i.e., you’re looking for a specific moment of celebration), they might be more willing to help.
• Reaching Out to the Right Person: You’ll need to contact someone at the hotel who can grant you access or help you identify who might have captured the video. If you’re able to identify the exact time the moment occurred, this could help narrow down the footage request.
• Approach: If you’re calling or emailing, mention how the video is significant to Emeka Egbuka’s family and why it would be special to have. It might be worth offering to compensate someone for their time in searching for the video (if that’s an option for you).

While this option is a bit more of a long shot, it’s not entirely out of the realm of possibility that they might have something on their security cameras.

3. Fan Communities and Forums:

Another useful tactic would be checking out fan communities or forums online. There’s a good chance that people who were at the event have shared the moment in those spaces. You could check places like:

• Reddit: Search for threads related to the event or the team involved. If the win was significant, a subreddit dedicated to the team or even general sports subreddits could be useful.
• Fan Forums: Some teams have dedicated forums where fans chat and share moments from events. You might find a thread dedicated to that particular night, or you could start a thread yourself asking if anyone has video footage.
• Discord Servers: Many sports teams or fan groups have Discord servers where fans share content and updates. If you’re part of one, or can find one, you might be able to ask the members there if they know who filmed the video.

Sometimes, fans take videos and share them within private groups before posting them publicly. If you know of any fan groups that were at the event, it’s worth asking around. They could also know the person who took the video or have additional details on where it might have been posted.

4. Hotel’s Media or PR Contacts:

In addition to contacting security or staff, you could try reaching out to the hotel’s public relations or media team. Hotels often work with local media to showcase significant events, especially if they host large groups or public-facing celebrations. If the hotel had a media presence during the night of the win, they may have captured some footage. While this is still a long shot, it could be helpful to send a formal inquiry with a detailed description of the video you’re looking for.

5. Look for Fan Videos on Platforms Like YouTube:

Sometimes moments like this get uploaded to YouTube, especially when they’re celebrations after big games. Search for any clips uploaded that might show the moment you’re describing. If you can’t find the exact video, look for highlights from the win or other fan-generated content from the event. It might be the case that the person who recorded it uploaded it to YouTube without any specific tags or keywords, so scrolling through these could lead to a breakthrough.

6. Working with the Family:

Finally, since Emeka Egbuka’s family was present and had photos but no video, it might be worth going back to them to ask if they have
