A huge tree fell on the sidewalk and almost hit three people in the Brooklyn neighborhood, Bensonhurst, in New York on Saturday (1st). Security images managed to detect the exact moment of the fall.
Pedestrians Michael, his sister Shelly Kerstein and Shelly’s husband, Ben Kerstein, were walking down 59th Street and 20th Avenue when they heard cracks. Seeing the tree about to fall, walked quickly and escaped the fall that could be fatal.
Check out the moment when the family is almost hit by the tree:
“It’s an older tree. Yes, she was super dead, but enough that if she fell on us, we would be dead. ” Ben Kerstein reported to the WABC news network.
Moments before the fall, the trio commented that the tree appeared to be very old, but continued walking anyway.
In the video you can see that the tree was hollow and shattered with the impact, releasing dust by the earth and branches.
The trio was shocked after the incident, and commented to Wabc that Ben Kerstein celebrated dancing to see that they were intact. “There was no other way, God saved us. We had to celebrate, you know, ”he said.
