Shocking Moment shipment of concrete shackles falls and crushes a row of parked vehicles on a street in Brazil

This horrifying scene occurs after a load of concrete shackles drops off a truck in Brazil, crushing a line of parked cars.

In a segment of Benedita Silveira Avenue, one of the main routes in the city of Barreiras in the northeastern state of Bahia, a semi-truck towing the piled tubes on a flatbed trailer can be seen in surveillance footage as it prepares to turn.

A woman is staring down at her phone when she glances up to witness the horrifying scene unfold and dashes into a building to get out of the way of falling objects.

A motorcycle and a car that is parked in front of it are crushed when at least four of the cement shackles abruptly flip over to the right.

Several more shackles continued to fall off the flatbed, totally crushing the left side of a pickup truck.

Another shackle subsequently falls off the trailer and hits a second pickup truck before the driver comes to a stop.

A woman is seen running inside a building as a row of vehicles crushed by falling concrete shackles off a truck in Barreiras, a city in the northeastern Brazilian state of Bahia, last WednesdayThe majority of the shackles were still intact, although some of them broke into big pieces.
