On September 24, 2024, a sewage pipeline burst in Nanning, in Guanxi region, China, unleashing a dramatic fountain of human waste that soared over 33 feet into the air. The explosion took place around 11 a.m. near a construction site along a motorway, leaving motorists and pedestrians drenched in waste.
Disturbing Visuals Captured
CCTV footage showed the shocking eruption, which looked like a geyser of brown sewage. Cars traveling along the busy highway were unexpectedly drenched in waste, causing chaos on the road. Dashcam videos captured the scene, with waste splattering against windshields, including the dashcam owner’s car, which ended up covered in poo.
The Explosion’s Damage
The force of the explosion was powerful enough to overturn an excavator at the site and damage several nearby vehicles. Fortunately, local authorities confirmed that there were no injuries reported despite the significant impact. Witnesses referred to the event as a “poop volcano,” with human waste showering over cars and pedestrians.
Ongoing Investigations
The sewage explosion reportedly occurred during a pressure test conducted by qualified engineers involved in the pipe installation.
Local officials are currently looking into the cause of the rupture to prevent similar incidents in the future. A comprehensive clean-up operation is already underway to manage the aftermath of the explosion.
While the shocking visuals have captured significant attention online, the prompt response from local authorities helped ensure that, despite the mess, no injuries occurred. As investigations continue, residents are hopeful for measures to prevent such occurrences in the future.
