Spectacular Calgary storm sewer water explosion

[lokiju]

Holy Crap!

I searched for sewer and Calgary.

WTF! Why does everyone keep going through? Are they blind or something?

And lol at the guy running away from the car in the 2nd explosion

LOL at the guy who was running through it...

This is the one with the stormwater drain that blows back on to the roadway? Heavy rainstorm+blockage in a main penstock will cause a sudden surge of water like this. It can knock a bus off the road. Water is nothing to mess with believe me!

no news?

 

[clamum]

I'm surprised people didn't slow down for that. Only like one or two cars did.

I felt bad for the first car that went in. I was rooting for him to make it through and he didn't. He went in one side and just disappeared until it went back down.

apparently its from Interstate 35W in Minneapolis
its been posted on the internet over the years and mislabled or something.

Did the sewer lid land on the front of that truck or did the truck run into it? I couldn't tell from the video.

TA showed this to us in Municipal Engineering. I've already completely forgotten what the point of the video was... head?

I SEE YOU (on youtube)

I laughed really hard when the guy ran away from the second explosion, I wasn't expecting that. That's a lot of water pressure.

I've lived in Calgary all my life and that didn't happen in Calgary. That happened in Minneapolis according to comments on the youtube thread.
