Sh*t storm: China pipe blast shoots poop 33 feet into air, drenches commuters

Bikers and pedestrians in China’s Nanning were literally witness to a “sh*t show” this week. In a bizarre and stomach-churning incident, a fountain of human excreta shot up 33 feet into the air before raining down on unsuspecting commuters following a sewage pipe explosion.
Visuals splashed across social media showed a fountain of human excreta shooting into the air before splatting the window shields of cars and trucks on a busy road in southern China. Pedestrians were also splattered from head to toe with human excreta.
A dashcam footage that has gone viral shows one car’s windscreen completely covered in poop following a billowing orange fountain of human waste. Motorists and pedestrians were forced to navigate along the stinky avenue in its aftermath.
The horrifying incident happened when construction workers were conducting a pressure test on a newly installed sewage pipe, a report in The Mirror said. Several vehicles also sustained damage due to a sudden sewage pipe explosion. However, no one was injured in the incident.
A huge clean-up operation was carried out by officials after the blast. The Nanning municipal authorities, however, denied reports that the rupture was due to accidental damage during construction.
“My car is stained yellow and it smells. I can’t continue using it,” one driver told local reporters. Another irate driver said, “I am drenched in poo.”
Social media users had a field day as the incident prompted an avalanche of memes and humourous remarks on X. “Caught in a sh**ty situation,” one user said. Another commented, “I can only imagine the chaos and the clean-up that will follow.”
