There's probably nobody to ask at the moment, then.

A few sociopaths directly contacted Christine's family about the tape, and unsurprisingly they reacted very poorly to people demanding their fork over footage of their relatives gory demise. They got rightfully called out for this, and ever since there's been a ban on NSFL searches.

I'm aware of that.

In a viral video I saw in 2018 or 2019, someone's smartphone (likely iPhone 6 or 6s) fell into a ground-level whirlpool as an unintended consequence of some other prank. That prank could have been someone throwing a dummy (fake) smartphone into the pool, but I am not sure. After the real iPhone feel into the pool, the owner tried to quickly fish it out of the pool, it flew into the air, and landed in the pool again.

The man was standing roughly at a ten-o-clock angle to the pool from the cameras perspective. Perhaps there was a larger pool on the left side, with only the edge visible in the video during that scene, but I am not fully sure.

Since the smartphone was, as far as I remember, an iPhone 6 or 6s, the prank was likely originally filmed in late 2014 or 2015 or 2016.

I could not find that video when searching for "phone water prank", "waterproof prank", "phone falls in pool", "iPhone prank gone wrong", each without quotation marks, and variations thereof. Possibly, some of the large prank channels have sanitized their history, though there was nothing out of scope about that video for a prank channel.

In a video which was likely included in an "expensive fails" compilation, three teenagers blocked a car (likely a cabriolet) with their kick scooters (likely electronic ones, which would make it more expensive) at a traffic light, possibly for amusement. The car driver honked his horn once or twice as far as I remember. Then, out of anger, he got out of the car, ripped one of the scooters away from one of the blockers, and threw it off the bridge they were standing on.

The ground below the bridge was largely sand or desert, no river. If there was a river, it must have been a narrow one, but the ground was largely yellowish.

Looking at archived browsing history from 2018, I could not find that scene in any of the "expensive fails" videos I watched. Roughly a quarter of those videos are no longer available as of writing, meaning the scene could have very well been in one of those videos. Many of those videos had several millions of views. Re-uploads might exist out there, though unless they have the exact same title as the original, they will be nearly impossible to find in an ocean of similarly titled videos.

It could still be out there, and I already searched for terms such as  "man throws scooter off bridge", "teenagers block car using scooters" (without quotation marks) and similar, but could not find it or anything resembling.

There are some proto-Elmo scenes that are recently uploaded to YouTube.

Here are some:

The first video isn't lost. I have it on my hard drive. Others probably have it too.

I almost wish searches for NSFL material could have their own seperate forums. Anyways onto the subject of this thread a massive amount of award shows qualify considering that they were often highly advertised but poorly archived. Also there are so many fail compiliation videos and tv shows without complete episode list, even popular ones like AFV,and keeping track of all of the individual clips would be enough to make one's head spin.

Many of the problems with NSFL material in this community would still arise if an alternative server was made, Back on the topic on hand there are a few videos/media that were healivy viewed but now are remained missing

''Mario 64 Screamer'' (for the time)

''Nick Choice Awards''

''Some Macy Thanksgiving parade's 

''Some Super Bowls''

Old Movies from the B&W era

Around May 2022, both of those videos were voluntarily taken down (privated) by Y-Kollektiv due to excessive criticism. Y-Kollektiv could not resist the criticism any longer. Thankfully, the first video was picked up by the lost & found office of the Internet, the Internet Archive. However, the second video is lost to history.

Only its watch page was captured by the Archive (takes a while to load due to the Archive having to cope with YouTube's crappy "Polymer" framework), and it was not uploaded anywhere else.

Despite all the scrutiny by other major video creators, the second video in its entirety is memory-holed. Only small excerpts are visible in responses such as at 10m36s in the criticism video by Tim Heldt.
