THIS is the shocking moment a huge water tank plunged on top of a woman before she miraculously escaped uninjured.
Incredible footage shows the woman casually snacking on some fruit as she makes her way across the road before a tank drops on her head.
It appears to have been flung off a nearby roof in a busy residential area in India before landing perfectly on top of the woman.
A neighbour rushes out of his home after hearing the loud sound of the tank crashing into the pavement as panic begins to set in when the woman doesn't move for a few seconds.
Moments later CCTV shows her head slowly rising from the hole on top of the plastic drum.
Both the man and woman immediately glare up at the opposite roof with a puzzled look as they try to figure out where it came from.
