I like how their is about 3 comments about the video the rest are yelling at canadians, yelling random names, and a bunch of other bull. oh and if i screw up on grammer and/or spelling i will be verbally abused for the next 354 comments. gotta love the nerds(yes myself included) who spend hours a day surfing through pages of other peoples misery just to correct grammer.

Hi – I am a drainage engineer in Orlando, Florida. Can you confirm this location information is correct. I would like to share the video with my colleagues.

There’s something more going on here than just pressure rising. The sewer system uphill from this drain can be putting too much water in, which would lead to enough pressure to knock the lid off at the point we see. If it did that, however, it would just start leaking out; it wouldn’t happen explosively like it does in this video. The water is flowing in, then suddenly there is a “geyser”, which quickly dissipates but starts again. Look at how high the geyser goes, it’s probably three times the height of the nearby overpass. The pressure (relative to local atmospheric) goes from less than zero to maybe 1 atmosphere, then back again in a few seconds.

There has to be some way that the energy is getting stored. Since water is incompressible that can’t be the storage mechanism. I’d guess air gets trapped in some section, gets compressed by water moving in from a level higher than the point we see, then reaches a pressure sufficient to blow out this hole. As long as there is some air in the tunnel the static pressure at the surface of the water has to be more or less the pressure of the surrounding atmosphere. Once they get filled with water (i.e. they cease to be open channels like their designers intended and become pipes) they can compress the air in the section ahead of them. Pressure rises until the air and water find an outlet, which then reduces the amount of water in the tunnel until it becomes an open channel again and the process begins anew.

O_O

how the fuck can that possibly happen? unless there is a big water culvert under the highway and it’s near the ocean so big waves can get in then that is impossible (from my experience – i’ve never seen water explode out of a highway drainage hooey like that)

You know, I think he was asking for a location, such as the NAME OF THE ROAD, the town it’s in or close to, so on and so forth. You’re the moron for snapping at a LOGICAL QUESTION, and presenting a rude, incompetent, and blunt response. You have a brain, so use it.

The US did NOT “win the war” in WW2. Germany screwed up – they attacked Russia when it was a very bad idea to do so. The US just came in at an appropriate moment to look like heroes. It would have taken LONGER for them to lose had the US not intervened, but they still would have lost – there was not way they could hold off both Russia and England, and the resistance movements (especially in France and the Netherlands) were gaining quite a bit of traction by that time also.

And by the way, I do speak German on a day to day basis (although it’s not my mother tongue), so that argument hardly holds water.

The excessive flow occurred shortly after the fat lady at the buffet declared, “I haven’t had a pea in years!”….. and a call to, “man the life boats” rang out, but the warning to stay clear of the manhole covers was, inadvertently, not given.
