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.
Firecracker or not, exploding is just WTF.
CH4(g) and air mixed when lighted in small room.You can imagine what will happen next,right?
the idiot dropped a lit match into there… what do you think would happen to the methane? dumbass
The most normal newsworthy explosion from China yet.
Some stories feel as if someone is throwing refrigerator poetry words and attach “China Menaced by Exploding” to the beginning of whatever sticks.
And “China Menaced by Exploding X” strikes back, WITH A VENGEANCE!
