well I would say the problem is the sewer not the guy. he probably did this before and got a little puff and rattle from the cover so figured would be fun to show the kids.
the SEWER is defective for it to contain that much flammable gas!! a flicked cigarette a spark from a car or truck etc.. could have done the same thing.
Love how it "BLEW" his jacket right off. WOW. lucky he did not get that cover in the face!
lighters and light bulbs in a microwave coolest light show you will ever get specialy if you can get the butane from the lighter to ignite after the lighter has melted
many sewers have decaying material in them that produce sewer gas like methane, ammonia,etc, plus people pour gasoline and mineral spirits down the drain. That's why we have traps in our drains so the gas can't back up into our homes. If you ever smell gas coming out of your drains pour some water in to fill up the trap and then ventilate your room. Don't light a cigarette while doing this unless you are related to the guy in the video but then if you probably can't read anyhow.
Norwegian. If it were Danish it would sound like a Norwegian who had swallowed a herring. If it were Dutch, it would sound like a German who had swallowed a herring.
I did that for years in when I was growing up.
firecrackers, m80's m100's and I never got a gas explosion.
even tho in theory it was possible. there's just too much o2 and not enough methane.

Good news everyone, I got rid of all that methane in the sewers!

I like how his outer clothes just magically disappear in the span of 1 frame
that's how Superman should do a quick change

And somewhere Shredder steeples his fingers together, laughing maniacally and says "Excellent."

That was incredibly awesome. Really, it's too bad though. Was the sewer full of flammable gas?

What language is the narrator speaking? It sounds incredibly strange.
analogassassinFeb 5, 2012
Sounds Norwegian or Dutch or something.
go4runmikeFeb 5, 2012
yeah, sounds like a Scandinavia language

Norwegian. If it were Danish it would sound like a Norwegian who had swallowed a herring. If it were Dutch, it would sound like a German who had swallowed a herring.

I'll take your word for it. I work around a few Norwegians occasionally.
