We’ve all heard the sayings about explosions of a rather unpleasant substance on farms and in factories. In some cases, it can even hit fans. But one man was landed in it after a toilet exploded in his face, with shards of porcelain knocking him unconscious.
Michel Pierre was testing the water pressure in his flat when the blast happened. He woke up covered in blood and needed more than 30 stitches to his face, arms and legs. The 58-year-old was so traumatised by the explosion that he now uses a rope to flush the toilet from a safe distance. He is also planning to sue the company that manages his block of apartments in Brooklyn, New York.
His lawyer, Sanford Rubenstein, said: ‘There is a serious problem in the building. Clearly toilets are supposed to flush, not to explode.’ Three other tenants in the building also needed treatment in hospital after similar incidents.
