This is the touching moment a couple hug tightly after sprinting to safety as a towering tree topples onto the pavement and narrowly avoids crushing them to death.
The footage was obtained from the Command, Control, Computing, Communications and Citizen Contact Centre (C5), in the Miguel Hidalgo borough of the Mexican capital, Mexico City, on 1th June and shows the incident, which took place on 10th June.
The video shows the couple running for their lives as the tree, reportedly a jacaranda, topples over onto the pavement, missing them by inches.
They immediately hug each other tightly as they realise what has just happened.
The footage then cuts to emergency workers cutting up the tree and securing the area as the couple walk away.
The jacaranda, known scientifically as the blue jacaranda (Jacaranda mimosifolia), is listed as Vulnerable on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List, with wild populations in its native South America under threat from logging and land clearance.
According to the C5, emergency safety protocols were triggered the instant the tree came down.
The centre is headed by its coordinator general, Dr Salvador Guerrero Chipres, who oversees the camera network that watches over the Mexican capital.
The near miss came amid heavy downpours and fierce winds that swept Mexico City on Wednesday afternoon, bringing down trees across several boroughs.
The Fire Brigade was called out to clear trunks and branches blocking roads in four of the city's boroughs.
Among the largest was a tree measuring roughly 30 metres (98 feet) that was ripped from its roots in the Cuajimalpa borough.
