120-volt circuit fault blew multiple manhole covers?

Doubt it.

Maybe 120 kilovolt. That'd do it, and more.

This happened last year, right next to the Turnverein, a tremendous German society building and activity complex dating from 1893.

Has several German restaurants and bars, a stage, gymnasium, meeting rooms, it is spectacular.

I thought then that it might be a sauerkraut-related catastrophe.

Only if the electric sparks ignited some methane buildup or there was a natural gas leak somewhere.

Reminds me of the story where a manhole cover was blown into space from an underground atomic explosion in New Mexico back in September of 1957. It beat Sputnik in space by two months and is said to have gone over 150,000 MPH making it the fastest manmade object ever. It might be the first object to make it to interstellar space, I think it could be headed for Antares, IIRC.
