DO NOT TRY THIS, EVER. (sewer gas explosion)

Komkast22 · 7 months

One time (I was around 7 or 8 years old), I was trying to melt a quarter with a propane torch. I had it just sitting on the cement driveway, and after about 4-5 minutes of direct flame the quarter started to glow blue and green. I decided this was the time to start being careful. As soon as I started to turn my head to be prepared for mayhem, an explosion happened. There was a hole in the cement about 3 inches deep, and the quarter was nowhere to be seen.

I am assuming I expanded an air pocket in the cement and it burst open and sprayed concrete everywhere, but deep down in my heart I know that quarters are actually explosives.

When I was a kid my friends and I pooled our fireworks money (they are banned in Australia now) and spent an entire afternoon pulling them open and filling a 4 liter ice cream container with the contents. Many rolls of electrical tape later we had a bomb the size of a basket ball. We drilled a small hole for one of the fuses (lucky we did not die) and set it off in a concrete drain (creek) that went under a road near my house. We waited 15 after we lit it and nothing happened. Just as we were going to check it out the entire road raised a foot in the air and collapsed into drain. We ran hard.

TLDR: Blew up a road with fireworks.

If you look really closely, this is actually just a cut from the TMNT intro.

This is good, but would have been far more epic if was actually standing on the manhole cover while showing his son just how much of a stunning jackass he could be.

I saw this vid a week or so ago on Break.com... One would think it's typical sewer gas that exploded. However, in China... hell, it could've been anything. Some dry cleaning shop up the road could've just dumped an load of perc down the drain. Regardless, that manhole cover looked like it went straight into orbit... almost took that dude's head with it too.

My cousin filled an old metal 35mm camera film can with firecrackers with a fuse sticking through a hole at the top, lit it and dropped it down the sewer. He ran like hell away from it but it just made a kind of hollow FOOP! sound. I guess there wasn't enough built up gas down there.

He should have stood on the lid as it exploded. All of a sudden... SUPER HERO STATIC-SHOCK!

Video scripts from another surveillance camera shows that the manhole cover weighing some 20 kilograms (44 lbs.) was blown up to as high as the third floor of a nearby building.

THAT is a Destructo Disk.

When my dad was a kid, he and a couple neighborhood buddies got 'ladyfingers' (a weak type of firecracker) and went around town dropping them down manholes. For some reason, the gases in one part of the sewer had built up, and one of them exploded. My dad's friend happened to be standing on top of the manhole cover when they lit the firecracker, and it launched him into the air.

no, you can do it. Just make sure you use a very long fuse.

When I was 8 I found a spray paint can in my garage and was tagging up everything I could find. My mom got pissed and told me to get rid of it. Being 8 I thought that meant, "Go destroy it." So my brother and I took a hammer and began smashing away at it until it was all dented up. Still nothing. I decided the use the sharp end of the hammer since that would cut it open better (in my 8 year old head it made sense) and after two hits it exploded in my face. I got very lucky because metal shrapnel shot past my face and hit a tree behind me. I was covered in orange paint and brother got some on him as well, which took about a week to get off with rigorous scrubbing every day. One of the many near death experiences I've had as a child. Still have the hammer too, all covered in orange. It kinda chills my spine to look at it.
