World China Menaced by Exploding Sewer: Man suffers serious burns and gets blown away.

[tom_mai78101]

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.

From the GIF, I don't think that's a firecracker, which he should be holding with his hand, not 3 fingers. It's more likely a cigarette.

It's more likely a cigarette.

Maybe. Maybe Not.
Well, he almost blows himself up, regardless of what kind of thing he used.
