Dutch tanker carrying pig manure explodes in Germany
A Dutch tanker with 20 tonnes of pig manure on board has exploded in the German city of Cologne splattering a number of houses and cars, news agency ANP reports, quoting a German news site.
According to local fire officials, the manure had become too warm, creating too much pressure in the tank and eventually bursting a glass panel. The manure was sprayed over a large area.
Take a second to process that: 20 tons of pig manure that got too hot and exploded. And here I was thinking that biggest pile of shit we were exporting was Geert Wilders’ ideology.
