Nerves of Steel

The driver's actions are made all the more impressive because if they had moved too early, the missile would have simply changed course and followed the vehicle.

By waiting until the last minute the driver ensured the missile would not have time to change direction before its impact with the building.

It is unknown who fired the missile as it could have been one of several opponents  and terorist groups including ISIS, the Free Syrian Army, the Islamic Front or Jaish al fatah, but video published by the group Call themselves" Levant revolutionaries".

TOW missiles are capable of destroying tanks and are widely used throughout the world. The shooter guides the projectile by keeping the target within their sites until it impacts.

They were first produced in 1970 and developed by American aerospace firm Hughes Aircraft in the 1960s. The weapons were first used by the US Army in South Vietnam in 1972.
