The presence of CCTVs has led to many heart-stopping moments being captured in wince-inducing detail. Earlier this week, in a scene straight out of an action film, a plane burst into flame and crashed near a busy road. In Toronto, a pedestrian filmed an explosion that could have almost killed him.
Now another incident that took place in Karni, Madhya Pradesh has emerged that is almost equally frightening. A bus full of passengers crashed into a divider, because its rear wheels had come loose, almost falling over sideways only to right itself again owing to a collision with a streetlamp.
A few passengers fell out on the street, but were unharmed. Others left the bus one by one, dazed, but more or less uninjured.
