This one blows me away. I think the guy has a claim. Can he win? Methanes he might have a chance. But they might say this is just an ex-septic-ion to the rule. He should not take this sitting down.
He did feel much better after it happened when he went home to his wife who prepared rump-roast.

In this case, drop the "m" and you'll have it right.

It's a good thing he wasn't carrying his portable oxygen tank.

The Koran is a weapon of mass destruction.

This was more like a weapon of 'ass-destruction.'

He knew it was explosive, he knew what is smelled like, and he lit a lighter.

When I struck the lighter, the whole thing just detonated

Almost a Darwin Award Winner. A 10 year old would know better than to have an open flame in an enclosed portapotty. Geeeesh, he should be too embarrassed about his stupidity to sue anybody.

Even a toilet knows a dumbass when it sees one.

Actually, methane gas is odorless. Natural gas, as sold by gas utilities for home cooking and heating has odorant added so that it has a "characteristic smell", but the smell is the odorant, not the methane.

I had to read this article over several times to pick up on the detail that it was methane external to the Porta-Potty that caused the problem. I wonder if it was this guy's job to do the maintenance that would have prevented this methane leak. The OSHA report will be interesting...

Okay, he should have smelled the mercapton, but few would have known what I was talking about. Good catch.

But that does give me another thought.

>>Jenkins, a methane power plant operator <<

Was he smoking in the the porta potty because he was in a no smoking area?

"I think the guy has a claim. Can he win?"

I understand the judge has agreed toilet the defense submit the plaintiff's diet into evidence, and the results could be explosive. No doubt, the plaintiff's attorney will try to put up a smoke screen and have it wiped from the record with a motion to squat.

Frankly I think the whole thing stinks and there will be a dark cloud hanging over the whole trial and the plaintiff's life will never be the same. He may be happy that he stool the headlines this week, but every time he takes a crap it will be in the paper.
