If you have ever wondered what it feels like to see your life blast before your eyes, watch the footage above, of a tank firing directly at the camera.

The footage shows a T-72 tank sending a shell straight for the camera. According to the description, the video has been captured in Jobar village, outside the Syrian capital of Damascus.

“This is what it looks like to take a direct hit from a tank shell in real life,” Gizmodo describes.

The clip has allegedly been captured by a Syrian rebel. At its beginning, you can spot the tank approaching what is probably a rebel outpost.

The terrifying video was uploaded onto the YouTube channel of lewaa albaraa two days ago, and it was watched by 400,000 people.
