A Chinese truck driver cheated death after his vehicle lost control on a bridge, flipped over the edge and ended up dangling over a 330ft drop.
The lorry somehow managed to cling on to the concrete barrier, albeit upside down - thanks to a single punctured tyre and some torn sheet metal.
Rescuers moved in to pluck the driver to safety, never being entirely sure when the metal or tyres would finally give up their life saving properties and let the truck plunge into the gorge below.
The rescuers on the Heihe Bridge, in Changwu County, Shaanxi province, risked their own lives, as the truck could have given way at any moment.
"If the lorry had fallen, they'd have plummeted too," an onlooker said.
