A villager had a narrow escape when he was forced to flee a falling building after he sat too close while watching it being torn down.
A clip believed to have been filmed in China shows the lucky man realising at the last second that he was far too close for comfort.
The video, which has more than two million views on social media sites, shows him perched on the edge of a broken wall while relaxing in a heap of rubble formed from previously demolished buildings.
As the villager and the person recording the footage watch the building's first-floor support column being destroyed, he suddenly realises to his horror that the structure is collapsing towards him.
