    A very lucky woman was amazingly unharmed after a massive water tank fell directly on top of her as she crossed a street and headed home from making a donation at her temple earlier this month.

    The stunning incident took place as the unidentified woman was walking on a narrow street Oct. 5 in the town of Dindoli – located in the Northwest region of India.

    Security video that has since gone viral online, shows a woman eating an apple while crossing a wet, slim street when suddenly the massive gray water canister dropped onto her.

    Seconds after the unexpected plunge, her head pops out from the hole at the top of the plastic tank. It shockingly missed her body and when she poked her head out, she appeared not only conscious but also unharmed.

    A neighbor rushed to assist her. Video shows them looking up to try and place where the container came from. Another man also rushed up to see if she was okay.

    A security guard reportedly claimed the tank was accidently dropped by a scrap collector who was clearing out items on their rooftop. It’s not clear how the person was able to get the container up to their terrace.

    The woman’s luck may be a bit of good karma because the insane incident happened right as she was returning home from donating to a local temple.

    The cement street was also covered with parked motorcycles that did not appear to be damaged during the disturbance.

    “Buy a lottery ticket now lady!” one TikTokker commented.

    “That was a one in a million occurrence. Not only did it land on her through the opening, but also at such a perfect angle that it prevented the top of her head from being caved in by the impact. Incredible,” a user on Reddit wrote.

    This isn’t the first time a person in India evaded death from a water tank unexpectedly falling.

    Back in February 2018, a man in South India was able to escape death when a falling water tank missed him by just inches. Crowds were gathering near the aging water tank to watch a demolition. As the excavator was removing plaster from the pillars, the tank collapsed onto the machine and missed the operator by just inches.

    At the time, locals claimed the entire demolition was planned poorly as others speculated that the old structure was just weaker than crews expected.

    wouldn't it have been more of a blessing for the tank not to have fallen?
