This poor guy was being interviewed by a local news station in Buffalo, NY about the pressure in the sewer system launching manhole covers - when it happened behind him! It was all caught on video!
This looked like something right out of the movies! A fire underground caused an explosion on Fore Street Wednesday that sent a manhole cover about four feet into the air. No one was hurt and there wasn't any damage above ground, but power was knocked out to the area near Five Guys for a little while.
