Explosive manhole covers are most often caused by city gas leaking into electric service utility vaults and duct banks. So most often it’s not sewers and methane, but natural gas, which is even more reactive and flammable. And short circuits and small discharges happen all the time in high-voltage cables.

[@blankspace0000]

I believe natural gas is largely methane 😅

I thought this was to do with the pascal b nuclear test where there was a myth that it reached escape velocity and shot into space but was later debunked that anything travelling so fast in the earths relatively thick atmosphere, the manhole cover would have been vaporised.

[@angusmatheson8906]

It would not have been vaporized as it would pass through the atmosphere too quickly to vaporize.

[@WillArtie]

​@angusmatheson8906 yeah the final conclusion I heard was that there was very probably a quite warped, half melted man hole cover speeding off around the sun as it easily reached earth escape velocity. I hope that's correct - I love the idea that it is still out there in sun orbit.

In a few of these common fail compilation videos I saw such a sewer explosion. You see the dashcam perspective of a car driving down a rural american road. And then suddenly **BOOM** all manholes spit small bits of mud (or poop?) about ten metres into the air. The manhole covers themselves didn't go flying, but they didn't lay perfectly on the holes anymore either.

[@yrtracingteam106]

12:05 you might have a look underneath the bumpers (maybe the totall car for that matter) i mean, the bedliner seals of all and is strong. And yet, i’m curios how everything looks underneath the bedliner

[@bobrobertsNotUrBob]

exactly what i was thinking

[@rhysbrauersmith2078]

the bumper underneath is absolutely cracked just as the uncovered portion, they said it themselves, its elastomeric, or stretchy, its not a shock absorber and you can see during the slow motion front bumper test it flexed quite badly. All the bedliner did was flex with the bumper but since its elastic it just popped back into place and looked untouched. While the bumper underneath still took all the force of the impact. In the side door crash test you can see the results clearly, it kept with the door however the bedliner looked "untouched" and clean, with smoother looking dents than the wrinkled plain side.

[@TheCynicalJedi]

@@rhysbrauersmith2078 Was the application of bedliner not super thick too? Could convince me it's 10mm thick looking at some of the slowmo angles, guessing they did that to give it the best odds considering how unlikely it was? Or is bedliner usually applied that thick? lol

[@karlnorgaard9447]

I have a Mythbusters inspired idea. Im watching MB today, looking out the window at the snow and all the tree litter in my yard. Picture a potato gun that shoots pykrete-like projectiles. I feel like a mulch of leaves, branches/twigs, bark chips, coniferous tree needles, and cones mixed with water and frozen might work. You could easily mould these 'bullets', freezing the mixture in a section of pipe. One could improve accuracy by rifling the PVC barrel. Of course, I would use some type of mesh in combustion chamber.

[@lordpsi99]

Get a license and permit for that. It sounds dangerous and possibly illegal depending on where you are. Sounds cool, though. Good luck, be careful!

[@boblewis5558]

Forget gas explosions ... Small potatoes. Many, many years ago sitting down to Sunday roast whilst it was raining cats, dogs cows and horses (this was in my home town on the coast of South Wales ... Only Ireland's West coast is wetter) and without warning a loud bang and the manhole cover right outside our house, about 40 feet from our dining room window, shot into the air by about 40 feet, followed by a thunderous roar as a two foot six diameter column of water spewed into the air almost as high! We lived on a hill, almost at the bottom with several hundred houses above us (max 120 feet above) with all their groundwater feeding into the main drain running downhill outside. I dread to think what might have happened had a vehicle happened to pass at the very moment it exploded! 🤔🙄😱😱

[@PanLukash]

Methane explosions in mines are almost 100% fatal. In polish mines, several dozen miners die every decade due to such explosions, even though security systems are in place.

[@swedichboy1000]

Awfully risky to put Grant in the car and having him ram into the barricades, couldn´t they have tested it another way?

[@DanielDuintjer]

If it was awfully risky for him, they wouldn't have done it. Of course they could've tested it with a remote rig of some sorts but that's not as much fun to watch. Provided the likelyhood of injury is very low, they do it. Now, have they done things that turned out dangerous in the moment? Oh hell yeah, saw Grant nearly eviscerate himself once in an episode but it was also because they were DIY-ing the living shit out of an idea and he came up with something ridiculous. Overall, they ensured they always did things safely... ish.

[@Ottensander]

Every experiment is strictly controlled by a safety team and insurance company. So if it would have been too dangerous there would have been no way they could have done it.

[@jovenbarcelo1500]

16:16 the presence of the blockages and debris (springs) also facilitated better mixing of air and methane in the pipe compared to the unblocked sewer, therefore, larger boom. It is a similar concept with plug flow reactors in chemical engineering.

[@wingerding]

Seemed a little dubious there would be that much debris filling up most of the entire thing.

[@DaveEtchells]

As a just-for-the-heck-of-it bonus, they should have repeated the sewer test with acetylene: It’s waay explosive, across a wide range of concentrations. It wouldn’t be any realistic replication of anything, it would have been great fun making an even bigger explosion :-)

[@TecSanento]

There is the myth that the man hole Cover above a underground nuclear Explosion went into space when they detonated the Nuke

[@HauntedXXXPancake]

Now that would have been the ultimate Mythbusters episode, but from what I remember, it's pretty much certain, that that "manhole cover" (lid) just got vaporized.

[@sparrowflyaway]

Bedliner might be blast resistant, but I think calling it blast-proof would need some sensors to prove that Buster was safe from the shockwave behind it. They really only looked at the physical damage to the walls and their impact on Buster, not the explosion's impact on Buster.

[@RonPiggott]

I wonder what the volatile organic compounds are for bedliner.

[@johntaphouse5235]

you coated the bumper in bed liner, then crashed it and it looked fine !! but was it ? i mean what was the bumper under the liner like ? doesnt matter what you coat that car with, the impact energy has to go some where, if the car takes zero damage then every ounce of the impact energy has to go into the driver .. so its not a matter of can this stuff stop the damage its more like do you want it to

[@petercoates2882]

I was walking early one morning in Manhattan, a couple of blocks below Canal street, and a manhole cover blew about 15 feet in the air like a 200 pound tiddly wink. Made quite a noise, too. It happens in NY pretty often in the days after a heavy snowfall, and the root cause is salt water getting into the under ground power lines. What I think is happening is that the power electrolyzes the water and produces hydrogen and oxygen. The explosions are a fact---the explanation is by me.

[@vophatechnicus]

Fascinating.. did that police officer use german commands on a german shepherd (Fass, Aus, Platz,...) ... =)

[@thomasjoychild4962]

It's a common practice to teach them commands in a language that isn't generally spoken where they'll be working. The idea is that it prevents the dog being confused by the use of command words in random conversation, by idiots passing by and wanting to set the dog off, or by "baddies" trying to distract them.

[@TheModelator]

In 1996 a car in our street had an overnight petrol leak from it's tank which leaked directly into the drain at the roadside, the car had around 10 gallons of fuel in the tank. Around 10am there was an almighty explosion which actually ripped up part of the pavement, 4 manhole covers were sent flying, one of them hitting a brand new car. In 2 of the houses the blast caused water and fumes to explode from the toilets. Luckily no one was harmed, but yip the underground sewage system can explode violently under certain conditions.

[@MrMarinus18]

You are making that up cause there isn't anywhere near enough fuel in a car to fill up a sewer. Also gasses from the sewers won't come up through the toilet, it's specifically designed to prevent that. You need to drop something in the toilet itself or otherwise the strain will be taken by the bolts. A real sewer explosion was in 1992 in Mexico where gasoline leaked in through a broken fuel line and we are talking thousands of gallons here. After leaking in for weeks it exploded with a tremendous amount of force ripping open streets, throwing cars in the air, and collapsing buildings throughout 3 blocks. The official death count is 212. Looking at pictures it's like a bomber had gone through or there had been a heavy earthquake. A famous picture is of a semi that was thrown on top of a 2 story building. Large scale methane explosions in sewers are very rare though because methane is very picky with it's flammability range and since it's so light it wants to rise to the surface so if there is any way for it to escape it will.

[@obviousmaths4368]

"there isn't anywhere near enough fuel in a car to fill up a sewer" I wouldn't be so sure. Back of the envelope calculation. 10 gallons is about 30 kg fuel. Molecular weight petrol is say about 120 on average. SO about 250 moles. 1 mole of a gas at STP occupies 22.4 L, so about 5,600 L of vapour. The lower explosive limit for petrol is 1.3% So if that 5,600 L was a bit over 1.3% of the total volume we can get an explosion. Total volume would be about 430 m3, or 15,000 cubic feet. It seems plausible that a local section of sewer could be of these dimensions. @@MrMarinus18

The dog is wrongle trained and the handler is also iproper trained. For the dog to react faster it's ... Fass, Aus, Sitz, Platz. Not Fass, Aus, Platz. This why its wrong. The natural reaction in a dog when attacking is run, bite, pull up, left, right and down. So when you say Platz, the animal will lay down and not have the impulse of letting loose. In the contrary to Sitz, the animal has to let go in order to acheve the automatic survsilence position. After the Sitz you say Platz zu get the animal to submit and relax. This is the proper way to train a dog. My father was the yungest recoconised trainer in germany at the time teceving tecognition of the german chanceler for the achevment. My childhout was dog training. As far as the handler is concerned. He was not authority emogh and had little controle over the anal, tgat can leed to mistakes and serious injury in real life. Who will get punished? Both but only one will lose there life. Guess who. This is unacceptable and the american dog handler association in contract with the gouverment should be held responcable to implement proper training methods.
