Pedestrians and cars were soaked with poo after a sewage pipe exploded near a motorway.
Stomach-churning CCTV footage shows the ‘poo-cano’ of browny orange waste showering the road.
A pipe ruptured on a section of road undergoing work at around 11am on Tuesday September 24.
The footage shows how the human waste thundered more than 33 ft into the air like a geyser.
Vehicles are shown driving on the busy road when the ‘poo-cano’ erupted, sending a huge brown cloud into the sky in Nanning, in the southern Guangxi region of China.
