A shopper was killed when a concrete block plunged from a building onto her head while she walked arm in arm with a pal in distressing CCTV.
The 50-year-old victim died from massive head injuries but her friend - just inches away - survived completely unhurt.
Shocking CCTV footage of the gruesome death shows the friends walking arm in arm down a shop-lined street in Jiujiang city, Jiangxi Province, northern China.
As they stroll down the street a concrete block came loose from the sixth floor of a building and his the victim.
Police confirmed that the woman died in the accident that happened at 11am and that the building where the number of cement fell from had been built in 2002.
She was confirmed dead by emergency workers at 11.20am.
Police added that they were still investigating the incident and said that the cement was part of wall decoration.
It is being checked whether the warranty was still held with the original developer or if it had since been passed to the property manager.
A similar freak accident in China back in 2015 left a worker with a fractured skull after a flying lump of wood smashed into his head.
Video footage shows the man hard at work releasing barriers on the side of the lorry when the barely believable accident happened.
After workers examined CCTV, they spotted that a nearby dumper truck had run over the log, its back tyre catapulting it through the air, directly into the path of the unsuspecting worker.
And last year, a Chinese TikTok star filmed herself falling 160ft to her death from a crane.
Xiao Qiumei, 23, missed a step and fell after finishing a shift operating a crane near her home in the city of Quzhou in western China's Zhejiang Province, her family said.
The mum-of-two was reportedly filming herself chatting when the tragedy happened and footage from her phone apparently shows it falling to the ground.
Her family deny she would have recorded herself during work hours but witnesses claim she plummeted to her death with her phone in her hand, the Daily Star reports.
The mum-of-two had built up a massive online following of 100,000 people who enjoyed an insight into her life working at the helm of a huge crane.
