The little one introduced the pyrotechnics into a sewer cover and caused an impressive explosion that almost ended his life.

A boy was playing with fireworks in the streets of Chifeng City, China, when he made an unfortunate decision: place one of the fireworks inside the lid of the sewer. This generated an explosion in the asphalt but miraculously the little one went unharmed.

The images were captured by security cameras in the area and show how the child has fun with the two-handed fireworks. When he saw a sewer plate, he decided to install a fireworks there, but the sparks caused a shocking explosion due to the burning of methane it was below the surface because of faecal waste that fermented there.

Despite the damage caused by the explosion, the child was unhurt although the three cars parked there suffered different magnitude of damage depending on the pieces of cement that struck them. After the explosion, the little boy ran into the arms of his mother, who was buying in one of the premises.
