Dashcam footage captured the moment a one-metre-long metal casting sheet fell from an under-construction Metro viaduct in Bengaluru onto the Outer Ring Road on Friday evening. Commuter Nidhi Kalani recorded the sheet landing between a BMTC AC e-bus and her car at 9.48pm near Kadubeesanahalli. "I slammed the brakes really hard," she told Times of India. BMRCL confirmed no one was injured and has started an internal investigation into the incident. The Blue Line segment where the sheet fell is part of the city's ongoing Metro expansion project.
