A sewage pipe burst on a busy motorway in Nanning, Guangxi, China, resulted in an eruption of human waste, drenching cars, pedestrians, and bikers in what witnesses have dubbed a “poo-cano.” The incident occurred around 11 a.m. on Wednesday, when newly installed sewage pipes unexpectedly ruptured, sending a massive plume of brown waste shooting nearly 33 feet into the air.
Dashcam footage captured the moment the waste geyser exploded, covering vehicles and passersby. “I’m drenched in poo, my car is splattered yellow. It’s ruined,” one driver reportedly said. The powerful explosion flipped over a digger at the construction site but fortunately caused no injuries, according to local authorities.
Authorities believe the explosion happened during a pressure test on the new sewage pipes. While the immediate mess was quickly cleaned up, officials are now investigating ways to prevent similar incidents in the future. Several vehicles were damaged in the blast, leaving motorists and pedestrians with an unexpected and unpleasant experience.
