This time, and sadly not for the first time, it is China’s toilets which have been exploding, threatening users with an unpleasant variety of horrible injuries and an ungodly mess.
According to local media reports, a beauty parlour in China’s Shandong province was struck by a series of at least 3 explosions when a member of staff tossed an only partially extinguished cigarette into a toilet at the establishment.
The toilets, which like many in China were of a simple pit construction requiring regular pumping out, promptly exploded.
The explosion is thought to have been caused by gases which had accumulated in the toilet igniting, although a gas leak has also been blamed. Authorities have yet to release an official explanation.

I am not using a toilet I have never met now...
Next time will be "China Menaced by Exploding" Houses, Buildings , Or even the Country Itself.
The Last one may be America's doing though...
China menaced by exploding babies.
They lift the one-child policy and the numbers detonate.
That's not what a shitter is supposed to do, China.
It's a shit pit, that is what they do.
Instead of tossing out the shit they just burn it. Explains the explosion.
This article reminds me that I need to clean my toilet.
I guess that's why some shit on the train.
this time it kinda makes sense at least, feces produce flammable methane gas :D
My God. What do those people eat?
I don't know, but I know they are using sewage oil for frying food and stuff.
Wait... THAT's a toilet in the pic? there's no flusher or wall separating them eeeeewwwww...
probably this member of staff will stop smoking if he is still alive.
Well, one thing is for sure. The employee is in deep shit!
I don't believe this... next time we'll see news that Chinese heads are exploding.
China, Toilet, Explode..
Where Have I Seen That Before~?
A great means of clearing the shit, since its just a pit.
Sounds like its time to take some Beano.
The crapper in the pic is absolutely terrifying.
Its an indoor outhouse, you should be terrified.
you can probably catch aids from that thing
...if you fall in.
You can probably get pregnant from going in, even if you have balls between your legs.
Ninjas could be hiding inside to spear/kill you well that one of the ways to assassinate people back then. Perfect throwback of the past!
...we had something similar build for the US Military while in a 3rd world country.
still better than digging a hole in the ground and taking a shit by squatting over the hole.
Squatting over a hole would be tolerable than this because at least you know where it goes and your not having your butt touch anything.
It looks like it came right out of Silent Hill.
I second that. I feel like I'm either gonna get shanked -OR- blown up sitting in that..... death
throne?
hehehehe... exploding fart power..
yet another topic about how how China epically fail at everything...
(Insert exasperated sigh here followed by China bashing)
(Insert comment here saying your intelligence is lower than the average followed by saying all your facts are wrong with no proof)
(Insert comment saying umad)
Oh, I love these!
1: "*siiiiigh*... I don't understand how China can have the greatest economy in the world, but not spend any money on actually making sure things don't always blow up."
2: "LOL your IQ must be really low, because China is ONE OF THE GREATEST AND SAFEST CUONTRIES IN THE WORLD! YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT! YOU SMELLY FAT AMERIKANS DON'T KNOW ANYTHING"
3: "umad bro?"
(insert comment about how i am not mad plus a witty comment insinuating that I have recently had relations with your mother)
"(insert comment about how i am not mad plus a witty comment insinuating that I have recently had relations with your mother)"
Ooooh! ya got me!
*falls over in a comical fashion and dies*
China Explodes, episode 32,435
(Insert comment that we're all mad in one form or another, reply vulgarly that I have also had recent relations with your own mother AND sister - and my own mother - simultaneously, then seriously and studiously compare techniques and positions regarding how my mother enjoyed them. Then offer tips so you may enjoy your mother & sister, too.)
'CUONTRIES? AMERIKANS?LOL your IQ must be really low.'
whehehehehe.
(insert comment? no, I would just insert something else...)
Poor China. Always menaced by something. They should be placed in the "self-endangered" species list.
Hey hey hey, they're still human. They're already on the list.
guessing not many of you have ever used an outhouse before.....not exactly a brilliant idea to throw a lit cig into other either.
This is a valid point, and it's not like it's unique to China. From WYKT.com:
"Posted on Friday, June 03, 2005 10:41:50 AM
A man is recovering from burns after lighting a cigarette in a portable outhouse in Monongalia County, West Virginia, causing the outhouse to explode.
The incident occurred Tuesday morning in Blacksville, West Virginia.
The man's name and condition aren't being released, but emergency officials say he wasn't severely hurt and even drove himself to a clinic.
A spokeswoman for Monongalia Emergency Medical Services said the explosion was caused because there was a build-up of methane gases inside the outhouse.
She said the methane didn't "take too kindly" to the lit cigarette."

eeeww, china doesn't even have proper waste disposal? They are just as bad as a third world country, disgusting...
Yes they do, some places dont or cant thus opt for something like this.
Hey, I live in Brazil and I have never seen something as disgusting as that!
Even in slums in my country, the bathrooms are better than that!
At least, running water and paper is not lacking.
This bathroom should be a copy of the medieval era.
Without running water and an enclosed place turns into a huge methane gas canister.
No wonder it explodes more often!
Before spitting in the third world.
Turn off the power in your country in weeks and see what happens with lack of energy and treated water.
People mistake "third world" to mean "impoverished" because many of the poorer countries in the southern hemisphere (ie, Africa and South America) are considered to be third world, but this is more because they never learned what the term was actually political and not based on economic wealth, which is the media's popular use. For the record, third world refers to countries that refused to ally with either capitalist NATO (first world) or the communist Soviet Union (second world) during the Cold War.
To make the point, countries like Brazil in South America as well as Sweden, Finland, and even Switzerland and Austria are all considered third world countries due to political affiliation despite how prosperous they may be culturally and economically.
Comparatively Somalia is still considered a second world country.
What if the country changed their side during the cold war? 1.5?
@9:22: Mao Zedong used a similar system, where first world was a superpower, second was an ally of a superpower, and third was neither.
Doesn't matter what side you're on, but I suppose if you changed to go in/out of alliance with a superpower, you would then gain/lose third world status.
I can't agree with that assumption of yours, there can be no doubt Chinese people at least have food if they have excrement, the speaker obviously knew that. More to this: there are countries in the Middle East that show you in a slightly more acute way you just how far the level of civilizational development follows economical capability.
(The media aspect of) Finlandization is one thing, but you can't say Sweden or Switzerland were ever politically equidistant from the opposing factions, or that - because of civilizational considerations - they were so unimportant/out of the way that their affiliation wasn't considered a worthwhile concern.
And the most distressing part is 'refused to ally'.
