- 7 years ago
Shocking footage has emerged from China of a tank truck exploding as a car passes by.
The CCTV video, filmed in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province last Sunday, captures the moment the tank truck, parked on the side of the road, suddenly explodes.
It was loaded with dangerous chemicals and blasted when a worker from the nearby repair shop was soldering it.
Although the driver reportedly emptied the tank, it was detonated by the illegal soldering.
The explosion damaged adjacent shops and houses as well as a car passing by the truck at the moment of the blast.
Local media report one injured but no casualties.
