The explosive dangers of China have once again been amply illustrated by this widely circulated video of a manhole cover being blown skywards in a huge explosion, with an unfortunate man being sent flying by the force of the explosive gases released.
The video, which shows a 20kg manhole cover being blown sky high and the man having his clothes blown off and being flung several metres from the blast.
The incident was caused by a sewer gas explosion in China’s Hunan province, and was captured on a security camera.
The man suffered serious burns, but survived, whilst his sons are said to have escaped injury.
The (huge) gif.

Chinese clothes. I'm actually surprised that those clothes didn't spontaneously combust.
idiot throw something down the manhole. just watch the video carefully.
yea, thats true. he did. like he lit smething then dropped it in.
FUS RO DAH
your child.
the mother you searched for.
dam! it blew the clothes right off him.
45 seconds of cooldown time.
looking at the sequence of pics I have to agree with uncommon he told the kids to step back as he dropped a fire cracker down a crack.
Then BOOM
Cool! Now China is pirating even Rio de janeiro exploding Sewers? lol
if you look at the gif the guy uses a lighter to light the gas
He's injured because his own curiosity (read : stupidity) then.
I think it was a match, judging b his arm movement.
Worse yet, a firecracker, or such is the story.
Hole: "Heyyy come to see me".
Man: "What? What?"
BBOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!
Everybody: ????????
Hole: PROFIT!
Or "down here, we all float... want a balloon?"
(guess where this quote stems from :))
No Pennywise. You'll rip my arm off.

THE GOGGLES!! THEY DO NOTHING
all sancoms are idiots to argue such trivial matter with pre pubescent child.
long live sancoms
Da hell is he doing crouching down next to the cover in the first place - stuffing a lit cigarette into the hole?
Cover goes BOOM.
What is that sound that i am hearing? [http://i3.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/195/326/OIaBg.png]
really bro? i never though so here in Sancom
This Anon is an idiot :O
Is it a good idea to microwave this?
FIRE IN THE HOLE!!!!!
someone need to say it....
The only phrase for this situation *brofist*
Holy sh*t this is awesome. Best thing to come out of China since...well, maybe the FIRST great thing to come out of China. XD
OH SHIT, FIRE IN THE HOLE!! SHIT!!!
say this for more epicness
In the future china will explode.
Exploding people? I guess I look forward to it.
Kimbley will be so proud..
How do you know that!? :0
/sarcasm
Yeah explode like that Klingon Moon, they'll take the rest of us with them if China did explode - ya retard!
haha. If you watched ROD tv. they sank hong kong.
sorry , was you living in a rock this years? everything on china is already exploding , the last thing is chinese people exploding wich shouldnt be far in the future
I said china will explode the whole country.
tearing off japan's clothes in the process
they wouldnt have enough pixels to censor all them genitals!
^^^^^^^ plz this
the idiot was put a firecracker into the manhole
what did he expect
Is it just me or does it look like the crouching guy was maybe holding a lighter or a match to the one vent hole?
I mean, I could be wrong, but why else would he have his hand right there?
/nevermind, I just watched the full video and not the gif, he struck a match and threw it down there. lol darwin at work
naw it was Artefact staging an excuse to make more news - except Artefact is in a hospital bed nao.
Well considering the many who light one while passing methane themselves, it doesn't surprise me that this happened. People still get easily amused seeing fire and explosions I guess. This would probably end up on Mythbusters.
This post is just half the story...
Although yes it did blow up, its that man fault. Look at the original vid. he threw something down there could be firecracker or something else.
Although I'd say there need to be some safety measures at place but throwing something flammable to high methane concentrated area is just stupid.
Your speculation is correct good sir:
...爆竹を手に取り、マンホールに近づく男性。すると、突然、マンホールで大爆発が。
...firecracker in hand, buddy gets right near the manhole. Thereupon the manhole suddenly explodes.
