@The Common Shaman, in some Asiatic countries their sewer systems sometimes have methane buildup, and when people light it to see, this happens. Thankfully this lid was hinged
@ Tobias Widower, it can happen anywhere. I used to work for the sewer company that services St. Louis. A gas monitor is your best friend. It goes off, you get out.
@iOS12, while it does look kinda fake, I can easily believe that amount of force came out of that hole. I've seen 200 lb manhole covers get launched 50 feet in the air from hydrostatic pressure, and locked ones blow off the entire structure itself. Same rule applies to a methane explosion.
@Not him again, the explosion 100% real, even look at the two covers to the sides, they pop up a couple inches from the blast wave. His flight looks fvcky tho
...goes the weasel.
