South Korea blast hurls car and driver into the air

A street in Seoul, South Korea became the scene of a horror scene earlier this week, when a water pipe explosion caused the asphalt to break and caused a car to be thrown away, as if it were. a toy.

The thrown car was a taxi, and fortunately the driver, a 56-year-old man, was not seriously injured. A child who passed by with a bicycle managed to escape in time.

The explosion occurred because of a change in air pressure caused by a building. According to information from Kotaku, the pipe in question had recently been replaced, but the developers forgot to depressurize the plumbing, which caused the explosion.
