Ugh!
The mere thought of this incident is totally and completely
disgusting. This is a classic case of "shit happens".
"Eye witness Dong Tang told local television saw a group of people
congregating on the side of the road and initially thought there had
been a car accident.
He said: 'I wasn't really paying attention, but then the smell hit me.
It was disgusting. And then I realised that a tank filled with some
disgusting brown liquid had exploded, scattering it all over the
street and the people who were shopping or walking past.
'At one of the shops, just about every item on display was covered in
brown liquid. The shopkeeper was highly agitated. He complained that
everything was ruined and said he needed to shut the business for a
week to clean up the mess.'
A spokesperson for the company that handles the collection and storage
of waste from Hechi's sewerage system said that the explosion occurred
as a result of a technical fault on the vehicle.
The lorry manufacturer has told local that this type of explosion
occurs from poor maintenance and failure to follow proper operating
instructions."
There seems to be no sign of compensation and many who were hit by the
sewage rushed to the hospital for fear of possible infection.
