'Super Toilet' Explodes in Britain

By , About.com GuideFebruary 5, 2004

Follow me on:

Electrical problems are being blamed for the explosion of a so-called "superloo" in Stoke-on-Trent, England on Wednesday. "Officers found the roof ripped off and smoke coming from inside," reported the BBC. "Parts of the surrounding pavement had also been lifted." Apparently, a fault in the high voltage cables underneath the compact public restroom caused water to surge back through the toilet, blasting the roof off. No injuries were reported.
