China's recent explosion in Nanning was different from the typical blasts we come across as it involved human excreta. Biker, cars, pedestrians and even pets plying around cesspool road were left smudged in streaks of human waste on September 24 after a bizarre turn of events. Human waste shot up as high as 33 feet into the air before turning the city into a yellowish-brown stinky pool.

Unsuspecting pedestrians were left soaked in human excreta from head to toe. In the aftermath of the sewage blast, motorists and pedestrians were forced to navigate along the stinky avenue. As per media reports, officials conducted a huge clean-up operation after the blast.

A viral dashcam video clip shows car passing by the explosion site, whose windscreen gets completely smeared in human waste following a billowing explosion. Blinding the driver, the human waste swipes across the windscreen as the driver uses wiper blade for a clearer sight.
