A toilet exploded the moment a man flushed the tank (4 photos)
Such a simple and natural action as going to the toilet may well be associated with serious risk.
An Indian resident named Ashu Nagar was convinced of this when he used the toilet, pressed the flush button and was seriously injured, because the ill-fated toilet exploded. The explosion was accompanied by a loud crack and flames.
Ashu received burns to his face and body (35% of the man's body was affected) and is currently in the hospital, where he is receiving treatment. As for the cause of the incident, it is believed that the culprit was the accumulation of methane in the toilet. Local residents have long been complaining about the old sewage system, which requires both repair and cleaning. Although government officials claim that everything is fine with the sewage system and all the problems are in people's homes.
