Ms. Ten’s house is located on the side of a busy road. The homeowner said that the tank in question fell off a pick-up truck and rolled towards her house, because it wasn’t properly secured, according to Line Today via Khaosod.

How would you have handled it?

Anything can happen at anytime. Sometimes, unimaginable objects, like an empty water tank, can just appear out of the blue and tumble quickly towards your house. This lady in the video is an extraordinary example of how adrenaline can drive us to do amazing feats in order to protect our loved ones and homes.

Thanks to her, everyone in the situation is safe.

We owe Ms. Ten a big round of applause for her quick thinking and humorous approach to the situation. Honestly, we’re not so sure if we could’ve handled it with the same grace and athleticism.

Have you ever been in a situation that required immediate action? Did you gain superhero powers?
