HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?

Recently, two people were driving along in their Audi in China when—BOOM—a gigantic shipping container slipped off a truck and landed right on top of their car. It literally flattened the roof and crushed the entire fro…nt end of the car. Miraculously, the two people who were in the Audi at the time did survive. They needed to be treated for some non-life threatening injuries at a hospital a short time later, but it seems they’re both going to be fine. Can’t say about their car, though.
