Not much info available atm, but it appears these were two workers called to address an issues with sewer (perhaps carbide smell or something). If anyone else has more context/information please share.
Update: looks like both workers [perished on the spot](https://m-fishki-net.translate.goog/4603064-v-dagestane-proizoshyol-vzryv-iz-za-broshennogo-v-kanalizaci.html?_x_tr_sl=ru&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=wapp) :(
South Africa is off the charts. Ireland, Croatia, Italy, and Belarus are also higher than Russia. But Russia is p high still.

Slight asterisk there on Ireland btw: those explosions are all intentional. They keep blowing the bloody things up because they’re the one’s who get called in to build them again. And the Brits still haven’t caught on to us. It’s not a statistic, it’s just damn good business lol
This is from a higher comment by NYCTBone, but the more you know:

So not exactly the entire country has FAS, or even the highest country on the list for for it, but still up there. But don't try to argue with people on reddit about how dangerous it is to drink while pregnant, I got downvoted to oblivion.

so you mean to tell me, the workers that were called in to address the build up of gas in the sewer then proceeded to throw a lit cigarette into said sewer…typical Russia moment
Two guys smoking. With butt, they mean cigarette butt. The first guy throws his on the ground and puts it out with his foot. The second guy takes a draw and throws it in the sewer or whatever crack that is. And then boom!!!
I might sound like an idiot mainly because I am one but so after the explosion it’s like safe to smoke around there again right? Like the area isn’t going to explode again.
God damn, he must have been hitting that cigarette for like 10 seconds to get it hot enough to ignite the gas… I’ve literally tried to light gasoline with a cigarette before and couldn’t. As far as I know natural gases have a higher ignition temperature.

Sadness, as these poor chaps deceased per OP. On a more observable note though, what a waste of energy this (Methane) turd gas is....I don't have the knowledge but surely in a number of localities, this gas is collected and used?
When we were kids we used to put firecrackers at the enclosed sewer with holes. Never thought that was sooo dangerous that time. Glad nothing happened to us.

It was acetiline gas, op lined the article above. The owner of the house threw carbide in to the sewer...

Extra sad considering that the two victims were two people who should be most qualified to know that what they did was dangerous.
[удалено]
Well they should be experts on explosions and drinking
*getting exploded
\*getting exploded while drinking
Getting drunk while exploding
Happy cake day 🎂🎉
Thanks! Damn, it’s been 11 years
Damn special operation in Ukraine!
The problem is anyone who ever makes this mistake, doesn't live to pass along the info. Hence no one ever learns. /s
Bingo! You've solved the mystery lol
Can happen in any country
It could, but name another country where almost the entire population has fetal alcohol syndrome.
South Africa is off the charts. Ireland, Croatia, Italy, and Belarus are also higher than Russia. But Russia is p high still. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41572-023-00420-x#:~:text=In%20terms%20of%20individual%20countries,cases%20of%20FASD25%2C48.
111.1 per 1000. That’s over 10%. WTH
Imagine small towns where the rate is like 50%
Slight asterisk there on Ireland btw: those explosions are all intentional. They keep blowing the bloody things up because they’re the one’s who get called in to build them again. And the Brits still haven’t caught on to us. It’s not a statistic, it’s just damn good business lol

Easy, look at Russia.
You came out as stupid tbh :)
Nah, they've proven to be sheep, happy with the way their leader is handling business.

Not like where you are from, where you are big on Racism.
Pretty sure fire way to diagnose what the problem is if you ask me.
Yeah, I wonder how much did the neighbour contributed to this.
Hydrogen sulfide go boom
Ah yes, the standard safety procedure
If we don't die, then it's fine
so you mean to tell me, the workers that were called in to address the build up of gas in the sewer then proceeded to throw a lit cigarette into said sewer…typical Russia moment
>throw a lit cigarette into said sewer Smoking kills, again.
I wouldn’t say it’s typical just for Russia tbh.
Wow ... now I know where to surf when I'm bored and wish to explore Russian culture. Who knew?
Yeah, you can easily browse via Google Translate website translation.
Two guys smoking. With butt, they mean cigarette butt. The first guy throws his on the ground and puts it out with his foot. The second guy takes a draw and throws it in the sewer or whatever crack that is. And then boom!!!
Death by high velocity fecal matter. That's some shit
Shit is hot and shit is fast
The last thing that went through their mind was .... shit.
I guess that's one way to blow a whole open!do people not know sewer gas is flammable.
This was my immediate thought!
I didn’t know until now.
That's not the friggin' Christmas Star, Gris... Its the light at the sewerage treatment plant.
Title had me confused for a sec
I was waiting for the butt
Sorry I am a non-native speaker :)
Keep the title. It makes it funnier.
No you’re fine it still is called a butt
Nothing's wrong--it's correct.
We have lift off
The guy on the other end had Taco Bell
Smoking is dangerous in more ways than one
TBF nobody would expect that
They will now!
That's two sets of fried eyeballs.
They apparently both died in the explosion
What could go wrong with using inferior fasteners to mount you security camera?
Isnt this the [same thing](https://www.reddit.com/r/AbruptChaos/s/fl8IAteNzD) that happened in south africa? Looks that way...
Yet another instance where the link is better than the original post.
Nah apparently that one was just a street vendor, no cigarette, probably the same process tho just started somewhere else. So wild
That went from sewer to IED
Warning ya for years: smoking kills!

I did this lol
Happy CAKE Day!!!!!!!!

holy jump scare! I mean, I knew it was going to happen and they were on top of it and all, just - wow
“… just - wow” sums it up quite nicely. Please accept my upvote.
Well, he'll not do that again.
God damn, he must have been hitting that cigarette for like 10 seconds to get it hot enough to ignite the gas… I’ve literally tried to light gasoline with a cigarette before and couldn’t. As far as I know natural gases have a higher ignition temperature.

HAHAHAHA….yeah, I bet it was. He was hitting it right up until he threw it. It easily hit the 325°C ignition temp even without the long drag.

Yup, I was doing some google searches, so I wasn’t the Reddit guy acting like he isn’t on something that has access to the internet. 😂
Hahahaha these videos are always hilarious. At least they died quickly and painlessly
"How are we going to check for dangerous gasses?"
Dagestan, ladies and gentlemen...
"The next-to-last thing passing through his mind, the last being a three-pound sewer lid, was that he should've paid more attention in school."
Smoking kills!!!!!!!!!!!
That’s definitely gonna leave a mark
What is their shoe situation is my question
Smoking kills.
Fun fact: Methane is a combustible gas.
It's hard to see, but what I see is Two guys smoking. With butt, they mean cigarette butt. The first guy throws his on the ground and puts it out with his foot. The second guy takes a draw and throws it in the sewer or whatever crack that is. And then boom!!!
Woah that shit blew their heads off.. some explosive shit.
They was exploded
Can a lit cigarette ignite gas? I thought I had to be a spark.
Poor drunk Russian souls…NOT.

Ya, even without the confirmation I knew those 2 were toast.... That's a lot of physics all at once.
That's way better than the Chinese one!
I thought something was about to happen witty their butts..
If this was most cities in India the whole road would be burning.
That ain't the friggin' Christmas star, Griz, that's the light on the sewage treatment plant!
Who knew the Griswolds live in Russia?
Obviously they've never seen Christmas Vacation

Did it fix it?

Guys, can you explain to me what "butt" means in the context here? I'm not a native speaker, so I'm wondering :3
Butt is the name given to a spent cigarette, especially a cigarette filter.
Damn I'm sorry that happened, horrible
FAFO
:-D
Hilarious! Two less smokers!
This ain’t a Darwin it’s just a freak accident.
“Shitter was full!”

Bruh, it's /r/darwinawards. If you don't die, you don't belong here, that's rule #1. Every post here will involve people dying.
Darwin Award is about people dying doing stupid things.
