A startling video has captured the moment a water tank crashed down on a woman as she enjoyed an apple. The woman miraculously managed to escape unscathed, reminding the internet of the age-old adage about an apple a day keeping the doctor away.
In footage that has spread like wildfire across Indian social media, the woman was seen crossing a road while eating an apple. Dressed in a saree, she seemed completely unaware of the looming danger. Within moments, however, a black water tank – the kind seen in almost every Indian household – crashes down from a roof and right onto her.
Luckily, the woman appeared to be unscathed by the mishap. Her head was seen emerging from the water tank’s open roof. Meanwhile, a man who witnessed the incident rushed out to the woman’s aid. Together, the two were seen confronting a person on the roof from where the water tank crashed down.
Some reports suggest the incident took place in Surat, Gujarat. HT.com could not independently verify the authenticity of the undated video.
