Reports suggest the incident took place in Surat
A woman had a narrow escape when a rooftop water tank landed squarely on her while she walked down the street casually eating an apple. A video shows the woman miraculously walking away from the accident without injury, leaving the internet stunned.
Reports suggest the incident took place in Surat, Gujarat.
The clip, which has since gone viral, shows the woman, dressed in a saree, casually crossing a street. Oblivious to the danger, she continued walking when an empty black water tank – commonly seen in Indian households – fell from a rooftop and crashed directly onto her. For a moment, it seemed like a tragic accident, but to the disbelief of those watching, the woman’s head emerged from the open top of the tank, appearing completely unhurt.
A man who witnessed the shocking event rushed to her side, helping her out of the tank. The video then shows both of them confronting someone on the rooftop, from where the tank fell.
The video has since drawn a flurry of reactions on social media.
