Poo-cano: a sewage explosion

Human waste shot 33 feet into the air, then began to rain, drenching automobiles

The burst sewage pipe that drenched motorists and motorcycle riders was captured in stomach-churning CCTV. It happened in Nanning, China, where the stools were trapped in recently laid sewage pipes prior to a poop vortex erupting.

As reported here, it shot a whopping 33 feet of feces skyward like a geyser and sprayed its filth all over the highway. In dashcam footage, globs of feces pummeled cars’ windscreens before a billowing cloud of orange appeared.

As they wandered along the avenue, unsuspecting pedestrians were covered in human waste, and clips captured some of them being forced to cycle through the filth. Numerous cars were damaged, and one driver allegedly reported the incident: “I’m drenched in poo; my car is splattered yellow.”

“It’s ruined.”

Pictures showed the devastation caused by the “poo-cano,” which left a sea of waste in its wake. On September 24, at about eleven in the morning, a pipe burst on a part of the road that was being repaired.

The explosion caused a digger to topple over at the site, but no one was hurt, according to the authorities. The breach is believed to have occurred during a pressure test that engineers performed while installing the sewage pipes.

Following the explosion, authorities rushed to the scene to begin a massive clean-up effort. It is said that the local authorities are looking into what caused it in order to stop such situations from happening again.

One local said, “You can almost smell this video.”

It happened only one month after millions of dead fish washed up on the coast of a Greek city, leaving visitors unwilling to eat elsewhere due to the terrible stench. Photographs taken in Volos, in the Thessaly region of central Greece, depicted floating corpses covering the harbor like a shimmering blanket.

Authorities and residents rushed to remove the fish before it reached popular tourist destinations because of the awful stink. Before placing the more than 40 tonnes of dead fish into the back of their vehicles, trawlers were sent out to gather them.

However, restaurants suffered because no one wanted to eat there because of the overpowering stench of rotting fish and the disgusting way it looked. Tourists were no longer sipping coffee at the harbor, where a thick layer of fish had accumulated, according to local publication Neos Kosmos.
