The better part of a Chinese apartment complex has been menaced by explosions, after a power surge caused most of the electronics at the site to explode at once.
The incident reportedly unfolded in the Chinese metropolis of Chongqing, where a mixed commercial apartment complex housing some 100 tenants saw scores of residents afflicted by exploding electronics.
One married couple reported they were peacefully watching TV only to see the TV explode with a crack and begin belching black smoke into their apartment. At the same time, smoke begane pouring forth from their fridge, AC and PC, causing them to hastily turn off the breaker and flee the building.
Apparently there were no serious injuries as a result of the incident.
According to one tenant, the incident was precipitated by low voltages, which caused some of the PCs in his Internet cafe in the same building to shut off.
He called in a pair of repairmen to deal with the problem, and they began work on the transformer in his cafe.
Not 10 minutes had passed before every PC, monitor and light in his cafe exploded, along with much of the electronics in the rest of the building.
He suspects a sudden spike in voltage caused the explosions, although for this to be possible rather suggests the site was not entirely up to code in the first place.
Japanese tempted to gloat over China’s explosive tendencies cannot help but note that, on the other hand, in Japan it is the nuclear power stations which tend to explode…

Scenario A:
Electrician knew what he/she was doing, but ironically, the electric company was scammed by a parts distributor who substituted a defective, Chinese, counterfeit part.
Scenario B:
Electrician: "Whining little bitches complaining about low voltage, eh? Okay, I'll give 'em some VOLTAGE..."
Scenario C:
Electrician: "C'mon, cuz, take my place at work today. I don't have any sick time left, and if I skip work, the fuckers'll fire me."
Cousin: "But, I don't know anything about being an electrician."
Electrician: "Don't worry, it's a snap; you don't have to know anything. Swing by my place and I'll lend you my uniform."
China, the land of Michael Bay interns.
"and they began work on the transformer in his cafe". It was the work of a Decepticon, I bet it was Dick-bot the blender guy.
Of course China loves Michael Bay and Michael Bay loves money :D.
For some reason, this remembers me:

I wouldn't be surprised if the leader of Japan is Micheal Bay.
China, Japan - eh, what's the difference? Nice going, racist.
The irony in that statement , anon 10:18.
China: daily small explosions
japan: every 100 years or so something really goes boom
China explodes almost daily.
Then Walmart will really be in trouble.
Still waiting for the day China explodes.
I can just see Bruce Willis jumping out the top floor window "Yippee-ki-yay!!! Motherfucker!!!".
Of course if he lands on the sidewalk it might cave in!!!
It might be better to land in the sidewalk, imagine if he landed on a truck full of explosive mattresses.
But what if he trips on one of those blind walking sidewalk guides?
But what if the sidewalk explodes too?
we'll consider it his burial spot...
welcome to boomtown
It would seem like bigger news if something in China DIDN'T explode.
Seen in a China Electronics & Gadgets magazine coverpage somewhere in the future; "Breaking discovery! An electronic blender that's tested and confirmed will not explode.... for a month!"
Yes, but will it blend?
I think you are asking too much here...
Well to be fair, they at least seem to have a better track record with their nuclear facilities than Russia or Japan. Course if their explosive tendancies did carry over to such sensitive locations, it'd pretty much be the end of the world as we know it.
American action movies should be moved to China to save costs on explosions.
Michael Bay is in China, lol.
stop outsourcing america's shitty jobs!
Dey took urr juurbs!!
asia is exploding!
How about US army?
Captain:prepare the main cannon!!
Soldier: Loading Complete!
Captain:fire the watermelons!!!
How about US army? They're just fine, thanks for asking?
Equip US Army with bombs, grenades out of Chinese made goods. ;)
May be TSA should now check for Chinese made goods instead of water or shoes next time you take a trip.
Haha funny. Yeah the grenades would explode before they leave the soldiers' hands. We don't want suicide troops in our army.
sounds like we need to lose a few pallets of chinese made grenades over iranian air space.
> I no your joking but an American company used Chinese fuses in it's artillary shells than sold them to Singapore.
fixed.
I know your joking but an American company used Chinese fuzes in it's artillery shells then sold them to Singapore.

Why..... why would you want to do that?
Chunks of it outsourced to PMCs... :D
R u from Middle East?
"Japanese tempted to gloat over China’s explosive tendencies cannot help but note that, on the other hand, in Japan it is the nuclear power stations which tend to explode…"
I'd just like to point out that said reactor(s) were forty-year old generation 1 designs loosely based on the early reactors the Soviets had. And "exploded" isn't the proper word here, "partially melted" would be a more precise term.
But hey, Artefact doesn't really seem to be familiar with anything beyond baseless sensationalism to understand even the basics of what he's referencing so oh well. =P
But he certainly knows how to write elaborate English, a feat not many on the Internet can muster. And that, if nothing else, may very well be reason enough to keep lurking.
I don't even know wtf that comment was about. Those reactors didn't explode.
They were repeatedly hit directly by several earthquakes and tsunamis that broke them.
Huge f-ing difference, something simple that some people (like the retarded Germans) cannot seem to grasp.
I was just thinking it was about time for something to explode in China.
Maybe your wishful thinking made it come true. Quick do it again!
You mean preceded and not precipitated.
Living in China must be like living in 80's action flick all the time.
No and here's why. No Carl Weathers, no Vanity, no Ahnuld, and too many Chinese people.
Only 80s America can be like an 80s action flick. Not some weaksauce China.
Terrorism, Chinese style...
Anyway, China impressing the world with its bomb making abilities as usual.
3 things china good at
1.making poison
2. Making bomb ( best in the world )
3. Run away or avoid problem ( they do run away even they plagiarize 99% )
Electrical accidents happen. This is non-news.
On the other hand, this is much more interesting:
12 year old girl in China has breasts each as large as a soccer ball (with pics) http://www.qingdaonews.com/content/2006-06/13/content_7056154.htm
why should anyone be interested in news from 2006?
Because now she is old enought to get tit fucked
It's anonymous smart guy, no one got "outed". Hell "YOU" could be the OP, and just messing around for all anyone knows.
@15:40
That's Mr. Smart Guy to you, moron. I meant it figuratively not literally. Doesn't change the fact that the Anon 22:11 is a closetfuck that wants to titfuck random 12 year olds.
Obviously the bigger news worthy detail is that her breasts are huge, but hey, obviously the loli age is what gets your gander. You fucking pedo sick fuck.
Nice way to out yourself.
