It’s a literal s–t storm.

Stomach-churning video shows the moment human sewage erupted on a busy Chinese motorway, drenching cars, pedestrians, and bikers in what has been dubbed a “poo-cano.”

The explosion of waste came around 11 a.m. Wednesday as newly installed sewage pipes in Nanning, in the southern Guangxi region of China, suddenly ruptured, according to the Sun.

Shocking video shows a huge brown cloud of waste shooting up nearly 33 feet in the air and splattering cars and pedestrians across the motorway.

“I’m drenched in poo, my car is splattered yellow. It’s ruined,” one driver reportedly claimed.

Well, it does say...up nearly 33 feet in the air...so not PRECISELY 33 feet, but 33 is noted nonetheless.

That explosion was higher than 33 feet, it looked closer to 70 feet.

[PIF]

Not 30. Not 35. PRECISELY 33 feet.

"... shooting up nearly 33 feet in the air ..."

[philman_36]

Noted in reply 22.

Putting out the 33 was the idea, IMO.

Pressure tested to destruction.

Sewage Pipeline BURSTS During Tests, Sends Yellow Liquid 30 Feet High

That explosion was higher than 33 feet, it looked closer to 70 feet.

They just followed the lede. The cars flying into the air was impressive.

Probably was a conversion from ‘approximately 10 meters’...

[philman_36]

Or whatever it was that got blown into the air.

[HartleyMBaldwin]

Yes, I doubt that anyone measured the height of the eruption, but rather it was estimated at 10 meters, and then the Post writer converted 10 meters into feet for American readers.

[Theo]

That’s pretty much exactly 10 meters. I’d guess that the original estimate was in metric, and this reporter simply converted to feet.

[RitchieAprile]

That would have been an unenviable task..

“Not 30. Not 35. PRECISELY 33 feet.”

The original report was probably from China in meters (which would be about 10) - I expect the person responsible for this just asked his computer (or Alexa or something) what that was in feet, and took that as gospel. That’s the sort of thing that happens when you have dumb reporters and an entire rest of the world that’s hooked on the metric system.

“…. Nearly 33 feet in the diary…”.

Which is good, because at precisely 34’ , that’s high enough to hit the fan. Then, at that exact moment, the shizzit will hit the fan. Nobody wants that.

an hour later they wanted to be pooped on again

Who cut the cheese? Well, something like that. Worse I guess.
