Toilet explosion Greater Noida incident occurred when Ashu Nagar, the victim, had only hit the flush button and the western-style toilet exploded with a tremendous bang, starting a fire.
A young man from Greater Noida suffered severe injuries in an uncommon incidence when his home’s toilet burst. The Times of India said that the strange incident happened in Sector 36 a few days ago.
Ashu Nagar, the victim, had only hit the flush button when the western-style toilet exploded with a tremendous bang, starting a fire. In order to effectively rule out any tech-related explanation for the explosion, his father, Sunil Pradhan, stated that no electronics or electrical devices were being utilized in the bathroom at the time.
According to preliminary investigations, a buildup of methane gas—possibly as a result of a clogged drain that enabled the gas to accumulate in the toilet bowl—may have been the source of the explosion. Everything in the home was operating correctly, including the air conditioner, even though there were no problems with the electrical appliances. The explosion seems to have been caused by a spark of some sort setting off the methane. It’s still unknown where the spark came from.
Methane Buildup Blamed in Toilet Explosion Greater Noida Incident
Harinder Bhati, a local, identified a persistent problem in the region in the report: “The pipes here are not just old, they haven’t been cleaned in years.” Gas may build up in clogged pipes and explode when pressure builds up.
However, AP Verma, the senior manager of the Greater Noida Authority, maintained that their systems were in fine condition. He told TOI that the issue “may have resulted from some internal problem within the house” and that “the system is clean and functioning normally.”
Infrastructure and environmental safety experts have cautioned that neglected or outdated sewage systems, especially in residential areas with inadequate maintenance, might eventually become hazardous. Gases like methane can accumulate in a poorly ventilated bathroom or in a blocked plumbing system, posing a major risk of fire or explosion.
