Syed Shayaan Bakht, Gulf Today

A woman from the Indian city of Surat was walking in front of her house when a broken empty water tank fell on her. Luckily she survived the accident and stuck her head out of the tank's opening in a shot similar to what happens in cartoons.

The video shows the woman eating an apple as she leaves her house.

Before she could take a couple of steps, a broken water tank fell on her.

A neighbour rushed to her assistance but she immediately protruded from the tank’s opening and continued to eat the apple.

The family said the woman sustained some bruises.

It is not clear what caused the tank to fall off the roof of the house.  

But residents said that gusty winds moved the tank from its place on the roof, causing it to fall.

Fortunately for her, it fell with extreme precision, making her emerge unscathed.

Netizens were quick to react to the viral video.

Pooja said X, “No matter what happens, you should not stop eating...!

Hemant Batra wrote, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.”

Shibin said, “She chewing apple like nothing happened is the funniest part.”

Lalrosanga Chawngthu said, “Laughed so damn hard, I am tearing up & my stomach hurts! Must be the effect of growing up with Looney Tunes & such!”

Another one said, “She caught that like a boss!   ”

Another X user said, “This is hilarious and frightening simultaneously.”

Vijay Fredie wrote, “She was so lucky, it just landed perfectly.”

The video has garnered thousands and thousands of views on all social media platforms.
