A bizarre and unpleasant incident occurred in Nanning, China, when a sewer pipe burst, causing a massive cloud of human waste to rain down on a busy street. The unfortunate event, humorously dubbed a “poo-cano,” happened on Tuesday morning as the ruptured pipe created a brown cloud that not only blocked drivers’ views but also covered cars, motorcycles, and their occupants in sewage. Videos of the incident quickly went viral, with many expressing sympathy for those affected and the cleanup crews tasked with handling the aftermath.
Fortunately, no one was injured, but several vehicles were severely damaged, and the stains and smell left on the cars were reportedly difficult to remove. The incident occurred during a pressure test being conducted by city officials, which unexpectedly went awry. Witnesses shared their disbelief and horror online, empathizing with those who experienced the sudden downpour of sewage. One commenter on social media joked about the ordeal, saying, “The poor car wash employees when this car pulls up,” highlighting the unpleasant cleanup that followed.

While this incident was less dangerous compared to natural disasters like Hurricane Helene, it was certainly a memorable and distressing event for the residents of Nanning. The cleanup effort involved removing large amounts of waste from the streets, and the 33-foot-high cloud of feces that rained down on the city will likely be remembered for a long time. Although city officials sent a crew to handle the situation, the people of Nanning are unlikely to forget this unusual disaster anytime soon.
The event has since become a viral sensation, drawing attention from around the world. It serves as a stark reminder of the unexpected consequences that can arise from infrastructure failures and the importance of regular maintenance and testing to prevent such bizarre and unpleasant occurrences.
