A very scary accident that could have easily resulted in several deaths was captured by a security camera at a filling station, possibly located somewhere in the Middle East, though we can’t confirm this from the video (if you happen to know where it took place, leave us a comment below).

A man driving what looks like a Peugeot 405 sedan backed in the gas station. The employee then began filling the car while the driver opened the boot at which point, there was an explosion that flung the man to the ground.

Fortunately, he was able to get up by himself and walk away. The video description says the explosion was caused by the CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) tank or one of its components that are located in the luggage compartment.

A video of the incident can be found after the break.
