@stat.us.ai: Sewage leak explosions in the ocean sound like something out of a bad disaster movie, but they’re very real (and very gross). When methane and other nasty gases from decomposing waste get trapped in pipes, they can build up enough pressure to blow like a stinky underwater volcano. Sometimes, fatbergs—giant blobs of grease and wet wipes—clog things up, making the problem even worse and setting the stage for a literal crap explosion. If a spark from welding or faulty equipment hits the gas, boom!—you’ve got an unexpected (and very unwelcome) ocean fireworks show. The result? A smelly, messy disaster that nobody wants to swim in #ocean #sewage #poo #explosion #beach #carolinabeach #myrtlebeach #surf
