New Zealand Toilet Explosion

By , About.com GuideMay 30, 2003

Follow me on:

A real-life exploding toilet in Thames, New Zealand sent a janitorial worker scurrying for cover as chunks of plastic and metal flew through the air and a faint odor of almonds — yes, almonds — permeated the public loo. The worker was unhurt in the blast, which police think was either caused by combustible cleaning fluids or teenage vandals. (And you thought YOU were having a bad day.)
