Pig manure swamps German village A village in the German state of Bavaria is recovering after being flooded with liquid pig manure. A tank containing the fetid fertiliser burst, sending a deluge of porcine waste into the courtyards and streets of Elsa, police said.
The sewage was half a metre (1.6ft) deep in places.
“The village was swamped with green-brown liquid – the mother of all muck,” police spokesman Rainer Prediger, from nearby Coburg, said.
The tank held about 52,800 gallons (240,000 litres) of fertiliser, Reuters news agency reported.
“It was not very pleasant for the villagers,” Volker Munk of Coburg police told the BBC News website.
Officer Munk said the slurry ran down the main street, flooding the ground floors of several homes.
Police estimated the accident caused damage that will cost about 100,000 euros (£68,000) to repair, Reuters said.
..and I thought my cats litter tray whiffed a bit sometimes! Poor people.
We got caught out having to sit next to a mother and her children on a long bus journey in mexico where two of them had nappy changes… urgh! Babby pooh doesn’t smell of roses as I’m sure Globaloon can confirm 🙁
an “oil drum” is about 200 litres – think how much that holds..
then imagine 1200 of them
thats how much was in the tank!
I’m glad they don’t have as many of these tankers in Britain (the poor quality standards of engineering and maintenance in our country would end up with most parts of the country awash with manure…)
