A dashboard camera has caught the moment a powerful explosion happened, reportedly in China’s Zhejiang Province. The blast’s force apparently propelled a large piece of debris, as if launched from a cannon.
Reports say the tank, which apparently was seen in the shocking video, flew several hundred meters before landing on the ground. The blast waves shattered glass and even broke down doors in a nearby village.
