Question of the day: Who blew the poo?
Things are ever interesting in unexpected ways in the Third World. | [NYPOST] Stomach-churning video shows the moment human sewage erupted on a busy Chinese motorway, drenching cars, pedestrians, and bikers in what has been dubbed a "poo-cano."
The explosion of waste came around 11 a.m. Wednesday as newly installed sewage pipes in Nanning, in the southern Guangxi region of China, suddenly ruptured, according to the Sun.
Shocking video shows a huge brown cloud of waste shooting up nearly 33 feet in the air and splattering cars and pedestrians across the motorway.
"I’m drenched in poo, my car is splattered yellow. It’s ruined," one driver reportedly claimed.
Dashcam footage shows the orange-brown geyser of poo billow out of the pipe before splatting on the window shields of cars and unsuspecting bikers.
No one was injured in the earth-shattering kaboom, but the powerful blast flipped over one digger at the construction site, authorities said.
The explosion likely occurred when construction workers attempted a pressure test on the newly laid pipes, authorities said.
They learnt the thing they wanted to know, so that counts as a win. | The "poo-cano" aftermath was quickly attended to and different ways to prevent a future sewage explosion are being investigated, local authorities said.
Good for them. That’s how we moved up from the Third World, too. |
