In a startling incident in western India’s Gujarat, a woman narrowly escaped injury as a large water tank unexpectedly fell on her.

The incident took place in the Mansi Residency Society of the Dindoli area in Surat district on October 5.

Visuals showed the moment when a woman in a saree stepped out of her house while casually eating. Mere seconds later, the heavy water tank crashed down, striking her and knocking her to the ground. Remarkably, she emerged unscathed. The video continued to show a man rushing to assist her, confronting an individual on the roof from which the tank had likely fallen. The security guard of the society also hurried over to help the woman.

According to reports, a scrap dealer had thrown the old water tank, which was lying in junk at a nearby house, from the roof. The tank fell just as the woman stepped out below, yet she suffered no injuries. Raja Ram Mishra, the society’s security guard, recounted that an aarti was being held at the temple that day, and she was returning home with prasad. He described the miraculous nature of the event, stating, “It was a miracle of the mother that the water tank collapsed and the woman survived. I was present there, but she did not get a scratch.”
