Sewage system in Moscow broke down 180-Foot Fountain of Feces Erupts From Sewer in Dramatic Video Skyscraper-high sewage plume erupts in Moscow A powerful geyser of sewage has reportedly erupted from an underground pipeline in Russia, blasting wastewater and debris more than 180 feet into the air, a video posted to a Russian Telegram channel and shared online shows. The clip shows a “fountain” surging for several minutes, spraying apparently contaminated water and debris over buildings, vehicles, and public spaces. It looked to occur near a busy intersection and reached up to the 17th story of an adjacent high-rise building, and higher than a nearby crane. Residential buildings and those under construction were doused by the rupture in the Novaya Moskva district of Moscow, The Mirror reported. The video was shared online by several people including the former interior minister of Ukraine, Anton Gerashchenko, a self-described “Ukrainian patriot,” who shared three video clips of the incident on his X, formerly Twitter, page. Local authorities are reported as working to contain the damage and minimize health risks to the area’s residents. Cleanup crews and environmental agencies are expected to remain on site until the situation is fully contained. (From YouTube video description)
