If you look at 0.41 you can see water running past the dislodged manhole lid, This shows the road is on an incline. Combine this with the size of pipe, which must be probably 2meters diameter judging by the size of the lid in front of pickup, and you will get a colossal flow down the hill which has obviously overwhelmed the lower pipe system causing water to escape from anywhere it can
how is that possible? I wanna know myself. youd think it'd just seep out. I don't understand how rainwater can be trapped? and then put under massive pressure? an earthquake could definately cause this. but there is no earthquake during this video.
@BeRAd427 This happens all the time with urban sewer/rainwater systems. The amount of rain coming down simply overwhelms the capacity of the existing pipe. Pressure builds and wherever relief is available is where the water goes. There's an immense amount of pressure involved.
Granted, it's not usually this severe, but at least 4-5 times per summer I see manhole covers being pushed up like Wile E. Coyote on a geyser.
Here proof that the average person is plain stupid. So your traveling on the highway see a 40ft geyser coming out the road itself and your like, oh i can drive thru that.
@metsfan12694 I doubt they even had time to brake (although you're obviously correct). If you watch the video again, it was literally 4 seconds from the time when the water was shooting high enough to be visible and when the car arrived.
This guy just wont quit. First he drives his truck into a giant spout of water and hits this man hole cover, and THEN he gets out and stands around as it goes off again, then decides he's going to run TOWARDS the direction of traffic at the very end of the video. Genius.
It looks to me that this was either the result of a pipe obstruction, or simply too great a water load for the storm water force main (pipeline leading from a pump station).
Actually, he probably designed it just like he was supposed to. Storm drains are usually designed to handle a five-year flood. Anything more than that hast to be handled by the streets themselves. You would need at least a 10' diameter pipe to handle all that water, and there is no way that the taxpayers are going to pay for it because it is such an infrequent occurence. He got it right, nemo1620 got it wrong.
@dangerousdazza They're probably doing 70 miles an hour. Slamming on the brakes in the middle of all that water at that speed is more stupid than carrying on.
The storm sewer was probably built right, to service a 1 in 2 year storm but considering this was on a highway probably much higher. Increase in development and an increase of surface run off combined with a large storm. As well the maintenance hole was probably well under the hydrolic grade line forcing the water up...if that was the case the yes very bad civil engineering.
@marjan12342 Storm system back up. Sometimes it happens when it hasnt rained in a long time. Then all of a sudden. 6 inches of rain. The system is all clogged so back up results. And sometimes... pressure builds.

it's a storm sewer lid cover. This is what happens when storm sewers are designed incorrectly and the storm water backs up in the system.
