This is the heartbreaking moment a water tank landed on a woman who had just donated at a temple in India, but she was lucky to escape.
The video shows the woman crossing a narrow road while eating a piece of fruit, when the large tank suddenly came barreling towards her from above.
But instead of crushing her, the container landed perfectly on top of the woman and she emerged unscathed.
CCTV footage showed her head even poking out of a hole at the top of the plastic drum.
Locals said the bizarre incident took place at Mansi Residency in Dindoli, Surat, India, after morning prayers on October 5.

The woman returned home after offering donations, or prasadam, to the local deities.
Residents now believe that divine intervention prevented her from being injured because she had just performed a good deed at the Hindu temple.
Neighbors rushed outside after hearing a loud bang and were shocked to find the woman in the upright container.
Miraculously, it had landed perfectly on her, the sides missing her body. She was unharmed after the near miss.
Security guard SM Mishra said the tank, which was thrown away by a scrap metal collector who collected old items from the terrace, had fallen accidentally.
Despite the heavy impact of the huge container hitting the ground, she emerged unscathed.
