This is the shocking moment repair workers narrowly avoid being crushed by a giant clock face as it plummets to the ground.

The maintenance workers had been conducting repairs on the 160-foot clock tower at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana, when the the clock face suddenly detached from the crane above them.

The clock face hangs above the workers before detaching itself from the crane at the university in West Lafayette, Indiana

In the video, the clock face appears to bounce off the cherry picker lift that the two workers are stood inside before knocking the side of the bell tower.

As it hits the side of the tower pieces of the clock appear to shatter before the entire object comes crashing to the ground. 

According to the Journal & Courier the contractors working on the bell tower, Verdin Clock Company, said no one was injured and they are reviewing the incident.

On Twitter WLFI reporter Trevor Peters released a statement by The Verdin Company which read: 'We want to express our sincerest apology to Purdue University regarding the damage to their clock.

'We will continue to work with Purdue University to ensure 100% customer satisfaction by replacing the damaged clock.'  

A video of the incident was later posted on Facebook by Yang Yu and has already gathered more than 300,00 views.

One user commented: 'And that's why you put a lead line on it to keep from twisting and breaking the chains.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
