A 21-year-old undergraduate in Taiwan died after being struck by a 30kg air-conditioning unit that fell from the 17th floor of a building on Thursday.
The student surnamed Huang from National Chengchi University was waiting at a bus stop near Xinpu MRT Station in Banqiao district when the tragedy struck, reported Taiwan News.
A video circulating in online forums shows the casually-dressed woman, wearing a mask and carrying a backpack, slowly walking towards the bus stop at 1.06pm. Seconds later, she is struck by a falling air-con unit, which narrowly misses another woman who looks like she is approaching Ms Huang. One other woman notices the falling air-con and steps away just before it lands.
