Pedestrians and cars were left soaked in excrement after a sewage pipe burst near a motorway.
Stomach-churning CCTV footage shows the ‘poo-cano’ of orange-brown waste washing up on the road.
A pipe burst on a stretch of road under construction around 11 a.m. on Tuesday, September 24.
The images show how human waste rises more than 10 meters high like a geyser.
Vehicles are shown driving on the busy highway when the ‘poo-cano’ erupted, sending a huge brown cloud into the sky in Nanning, in China’s southern Guangxi region.
