A terrifying incident from Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh, has gone viral, capturing the sheer power of nature’s fury. On Wednesday, a man identified as Nanhe Miyan was sent flying into the air after a violent storm uprooted a massive tin shed he was trying to anchor.
The footage, which has since surfaced on social media, shows the horrifying moment the wind gained enough lift to carry both the heavy structure and the man several meters above the ground before dumping him into a distant field.
Nanhe Miyan was reportedly at a wedding hall in the district when the weather took a deadly turn. In a desperate attempt to save the property, he held onto the poles of the tin structure. However, the gusts part of a larger storm system that has devastated the state were too strong.
Eyewitnesses stood in shock as the shed acted like a sail, lifting the victim high into the sky. While the shed eventually crashed back down, Nanhe Miyan was carried further by the momentum, resulting in severe injuries, including fractures in both his arms and legs. He is currently undergoing intensive treatment at a local hospital.
