Who said it has?

Where's it gonna land Flargon?
laszlo462
No feet!
mrputter
That's the neat part. It didn't.

We might kill someone but hey as long as it is good fun no? /s

Somewhere in China probably.
moistsox
Ill let you know next week
thisisausernamelikeanyothersbutthisonesmellsweird
Later that day, somewhere far far away..
Blunderwriter
That is facking impressive!!!
dailysuicidalthoughts
Fake, the amount of explosive force that is shown leaving the manhole, does not match up with the speed of the manhole cover.
You can see a second cover pop off, a little north of the one with the fire crackers. That's not how this would work in the real world.

I've seen the versions of this where it doesn't end well.

Looks like it lands on the hood of the blue van upper left
azzabat
Not seeing it. Can you provide more details?

Houston, we have liftoff.

Chinese space programme has taken an interesting pivot.

Did the Maffs, the video is 12 fps, it traveled 2 meters in one frame, which gives a speed of 24 m/s, making it land 5 seconds later
StellaMatutina
It lands 1m away between seconds 6 and 7. It flipped on its side, tumbling fucks with physics
Thats a different one, I thought it was the one bkasted at first but ypu can see that another one was lifted too.
MrLoveCock
That air mix ratio was beyond perfect.

Idiots and fire, what a source of entertainment

Some say it’s still going today

Am I really the only person that thinks this is mostly fake? The explosion has been enhanced and the effect dramatised.

Was waiting for the brave but foolish kid to stand on it.
Imademyselfsquirtle
That is not brave. That is stupid.
I've played Bomberman 64. That's just how you use elevators. Kick a bomb under it, stand on top, detonate.

Does it not just land about 10 ft north?
catrov
I single framed it in video editor. It looks like it landed on the one 10 ft north and dislodged it. Looks like an electrical explosion.
JustAnOldLurker
Nope, looks like the pressure blew the one next to it off also. That's a second one.
RobertTheBruise
Maybe after the video stopped.
dynskeet
Looks like that was a second manhole cover that also blew off. What the hell caused this?
ejoedjoe42
Excessive buildup of man-pressure
GanjalfTheGray
Im guessing a gas leak
ChanceVLuck
Methane builds up in poorly vented sewer systems. Kid likely put a firework in the hole in the cover.
JustDontCare
Definitely did.

Did these kids die? I mean, homie got his jacket shredded to pieces. I can't make out what happens to the little ones but it looks bad...
WeirdPalSpankovich
I'd be shocked if nobody here was hospitalized. That type of concussive force can cause internal damage.
Warthog2
can cgi kill?
Baughr
Anyone know why you can see some fire coming out right before the big explosion? Oh is it gas inside catching on fire?
IsACouchASeat
Yeah, methane in sewer system. Incredibly dangerous to light.
It's fake. The fire is all wrong.

I hope they signed the cover. Then when it lands on some planet around Alpha Centari, QXHELY216 will be like “Oh, thanks Bob and Stewart!”
relsky
We probably shouldn't detonate any more nuclear tests...... but damn I wish we could recreate this to test it out.
kitchendaddy
Thanks for sharing this. Fascinating!
Can you imagine a manhole cover going over 150,000 mph? Awesome and terrifying.
JonnyBoon
Imagine being an alien, just flying around space, minding your own business, when WHAM! Earth just declares war on your planet...

Fun fact, not the only time that a steel cap went flying because of a nuclear incident. Damascus incident.
That one involved the liquid propellant tank of a nuclear missile getting ruptured and exploding. The nuke itself didn't go off.
That said, the silo was closed and, as the liquid fuels reacted, they blew up with enough force to send the lid of the silo airborne.
It should be mentioned that the silo lid weighed 740 tons.

Didn't it manage escape Velocity ?
DukeofKMS
Vaporised
kutison
Not from the nuke behind it, but the air friction that laid ahead.
NZSheeps
Probably, but I like to think it's in a orbit around the sun and will smash into Musk's Tesla
LupusLilium
Floating Tesla instantly obliterated by hypervelocity steel plate.
TeamToasterNeverForget
the speed calculation of this steel cap is wildly inaccurate.. so we dont actually know how fast it went.. but it was never found
Ketheres
Most likely vaporized
It was caught on camera flying off, but yeah if the gas stream pushing it was very hot (which is was) it is likely..
lysani
I believe it was only in a single frame of the high speed camera, and calculations based on that estimate it vaporized in the atmosphere.
Exactly.. so there are simply too many unknown parameters in the calculation to know where or how fast it flew..
Maybe SOME of it vaporizes and a little bullet keeps on going, for infinity. Who knows
