| Exploding Excrement Topples Building In China, 15 Injured |
| 2014-11-25 |
[AnNahar] A cesspool filled with excrement has went kaboom!in central China, injuring 15 people and knocking down a building, state-run media reported. The blast was apparently sparked by a local man burning waste close to the cesspool, igniting methane gas which was emanating from the pit, the Xinhua news agency said late on Sunday. The incident in Zhangjiajie city, in the central province of Hunan, caused a residential building to collapse and three of the injured had to be hospitalised, Xinhua said. China's urban infrastructure has often been hastily built with little regard for safety as hundreds of millions of people have moved from the countryside to cities in recent decades. In another excrement-related incident, a man and his mother both died trying to retrieve his wife's new mobile phone -- worth 2,000 yuan ($320) -- from a toilet septic tank, reports said in May. The man jumped in to try to locate the phone but was overcome by fumes and passed out, according to Dahe, a web portal run by the provincial government in central Henan province. |

| #1 Ammonium nitrate or methane in it? There came an explosion from the cesspit Sprayed a light shade of brown The building came down Leaving 15 Chinese in shit. And while serious, it's a little absurd That an event such as this has occurred The residents of Zhangjiajie city Don’t look very pretty When they’re hit in the head by a turd. Not quite as good as Zenobia Floger6220. But hey, at least I had a go... |
