Chinese media have offered up an explanation reporting that the incident was caused by a piece of steel cable, which was caught up in the brush of a street sweeper.

How could a steel cable in a street sweeper lift two vans?

Easily.

You can see the car next to the street sweaper get lifted too, showing the line of the cable from the left of shot, across the road and into the sweeper on the right.

You can tear a car in half with a steel cable, they are massively strong. Lifting cars in the air is no bother.

Same as this,

Interesting that the wheel on the van detaches, then re-attaches itself :eek:
