Huge fountain of dirty water shoots up from sewer in China

This spectacular footage shows filthy brown water from a flooded sewer shooting 30 feet up in the air and causing traffic chaos. The astonishing sight was captured by a motorist, named Mr. Feng, in Xi'an, in north-western China's Shaanxi Province on September 11.

Mr Feng said he was caught by surprise as the tall water column erupted through the manhole cover just as he was about to drive over it. He stopped a few feet short of the sewer after he noticed water streaming out of it and managed to film the spectacle.
