THIS is the disgusting moment a massive fountain of sewage rains human waste on helpless passers by.
Stomach-churning social media footage from Russia captures a geyser the size of a tower block lasting for several revolting minutes.

The foul fountain rained down in the Novaya Moskva district of Moscow, a Russian Telegram channel has reported.
The raw sewage was catapulted 180ft in the air, with several cars close by that likely got hit with the waste.
There are several residential buildings in the clip, suggesting they were covered too, including anyone unlucky enough to be walking past.
This moment shocked many, who were quick to react on social media to the revolting sight.
One X (formerly Twitter) user captioned the moment with: “A sh*t show, literally.”
Anton Gerashchenko, a self-described Ukrainian patriot, posted the video to his 634,000 followers.
The video currently has over 3.7 million views, over 43,000 likes and nearly 10,000 reposts.
Some were quick to make political jabs, with one person quipping: How nice, Putin did this in celebration of the MSG Trump Rally!”
There was sympathy for those who would have to clean up the huge mess, as seen in a comment reading: “Imagine that it all fall down, transported by wind, smell… beurk!!!
“and the technicians are in the trenches at the frontline.”
Other humorous comments followed, with one person saying: “This is one of those moments where I really, really hope Ukrainedid do it.
Some claimed that the sewage infrastructure broke down in Moscow.
The user went onto suggest: “Is this the thermal heating system being purged. In our apartment in Craiova the heating is pressurized in October and the water that come out is rusty coloured like this.”
According to Russia‘s state-owned conglomerate Gazprom, a new section of the gas pipeline is being cleaned out of the air in this way.
According to reports, representatives of the corporation said the situation is under control.
Local authorities are reported as working to contain the damage, and minimize helath risks to the public.
Cleanup crews are expected to remain on the site until the sickly incident is fully contained.
This is not the first time this year that the integrity of Russia’s sewage system has been questioned.
In January, when Russian troops discovered gender neutral toilets in Ukraine, Boris Vishnevsky, a member of the St. Petersburg Legislative Assembly made a cutting remark.
He said that: “a quarter of Russians do not have centralised sewerage,” citing data from Rosstat, Russia’s state statistics service.
Boris added : “And basically, it is hard to imagine something more gender-neutral than a backyard ‘latrine’-style toilet.”
He was responding to St. Petersburg Governor Alexander Beglov’s criticism of the gender neutral toilets, as reported by Newsweek.

Hammer: Heroes, Legends and Monsters will air on Sky Arts, Freeview Channel 36 and streaming service NOW on 31 October.
His argument is that the votes that the 2nd and 4th placed stars would have received votes instead of Vinicius Jr.
He said: “Obviously, Vinicius surely suffered from the presence of Bellingham and Carvajal in the top five because, mathematically, that took away some points from him.
“This also sums up Real Madrid’s season, which took between three and four players, and the judges shared their decisions with them, which benefited Rodri.”
The split of votes for Real players allowed for more room for Rodri to be named the winner.

A GORGEOUS one-of-a-kind supercar with a curious interior trim can be yours for an astronomical price.
An extra-special Porsche 911 ‘Turbo Remastered’, which was released in 2024 by Porsche Sonderwunsch, has been described as a once in a lifetime find.

mediadrumimagesThe car’s Lipstick Red interior is what sets it apart[/caption]
The car’s unique interior is perhaps what sets it apart from the rest; upholstered in two-tone ‘Lipstick Red’ and black with red and blue tartan trim.
Built as a tribute to the prototype 911 Turbo – the first ever to exist, which was gifted to Louise Piech, the daughter of Porsche founder Ferdinand Porsche, in 1974 – this modern supercar is powered by the 992-type 911 Turbo engine that can deliver 0 to 60 mph in 2.8 seconds and hit a top speed of roughly 198 mph.
Unveiled at the Icons of Porsche Festival in Dubai last year, the one-off 911 marked the model’s 60th anniversary, as well as the famous carmaker’s 75th year.
Piech’s original 911 Turbo, which was also finished in silver, could be specially distinguished by its chequered tartan fabric on red interior that she had personally chosen.
The updated model, built from a collaboration between Style Porsche, Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur, and the Porsche Middle East and Africa regional office, will be auctioned off by RM Sotheby’s next month – for a listed price of £330,000.
Perhaps what the car does best is show off the world famous Sonderwunsch workshop – Porsche’s special request arm that works with both the Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur and the Porsche Classic department.
The Sonderwunsch team is dedicated to taking special requests to help Porsche buyers get the bespoke motor of their dreams; hence their slogan “you dream it, we build it.”
Since it began in the late 1970s, the Sonderwunsch has produced a number of one-off cars for its wealthy clients, which range from unique colour combinations or material requests, through to modifications after the car is delivered to the customer.
This comes as another legendary Porsche sports car that was left untouched and rotting under a layer of snow was restored to its former glory.
A stunning 928 S4, one of the most iconic motors from the 1980s, was left neglected at the side of a house for 15 years in Upstate New York.
Earlier this year, Sun Motors spoke with a car expert who specialises in modern classics – with a special focus on Porsches.
James said: “The perfectly balanced, perfect under £10,000 sports car has got to be the 987 Boxster.
“Manual, flat-six, you just can’t go wrong. It’s perfect.”
And finally, the chief designer of Porsche recently revealed that he dreams of designing a smaller and more compact version of the 911, in a nod to its earlier years.
Car design guru Michael Mauer, who’s worked for the likes of Mercedes and Saab before joining Porsche in 2004, is keen for their next-generation 911 to be scaled down – although he admits this could be a challenge.
In recent years, Porsche motors have grown in size, with newer models such as the Taycan and Panamera joining the Cayenne as some of the largest in the German marque’s history.
But even the iconic 911 model has grown in size, with the wheelbase of its recent models stretching by 247 millimetres between 1963 to 2011.

NAYA Vazquez is a character in the 2024 Netflix film Rob Peace, who is played by Fifth Harmony superstar Camila Cabello.
Camila’s character is the girlfriend of the film’s titular character, who was based on the real-life Yale graduate who turned to drug dealing to support his father.
In the film, Naya is played by Camila CabelloSplash newsCamila is just one member of the show’s star studded castGetty Images
Rob’s movie girlfriend
Naya is not believed to be a real person, but her character is based on the people that Rob was in a relationship with during his time at Yale.
In the film, Camila’s character is from Brazil which prompts Rob to try and learn Portuguese so he can get to know her better.
The pair click instantly and they are quickly caught up in a whirlwind romance.
However, things fall apart when Rob’s drug dealing begins to get in the way of his personal life.
Although Naya reminds him that he doesn’t “have to live like this”, Rob refuses to listen.
The real-life story
Rob grew up in Orange, New Jersey, where his mother Jackie tried to nurture his incredible intelligence.
By the age of three, he had been nicknamed “the professor” and she knew that the schools around their home would not be able to meet his needs.
Skeet, Rob’s father, was a small-time drug dealer who was eventually jailed for murdering two people but Jackie was determined to ensure that Rob maintained a good relationship with his dad.
Eventually, Rob went to Yale and met Jeff Hobbs who would later write his biography entitled The Short and Tragic Life of Robert Peace.
Rob’s cousin Syreeta Lum You said that he “had friends from all over”.
She added: “He didn’t care whether you were black, white, Hispanic.
“Whether you spoke English or not, he was going to learn the language and he was going to speak it with the right accent.”
Reportedly, Rob wanted to visit Brazil after he graduated and this dream helped inspire Camila’s character Naya in the movie based on his life.
While he was at university, he began selling cannabis to fund his father’s legal battle and was eventually successful in getting his sentence overturned.
However, the state intervened and, eventually, Skeet’s sentence was reinstated.
Tragically, Skeet passed away in prison after a long battle with cancer.
Despite his father’s death, Rob continued to sell drugs which isolated him from his peers at the prestigious university.
After graduation, he landed a job at his former high school. St Benedict, where he was given a teacher of the year award.
Sadly, a real-estate venture gone-wrong landed Rob in financial dire straits and he decided to return to drug dealing.
He was killed on May 18, 2011, in a drug-related incident.

Camila was chosen to portray Rob’s love interest in the movie, but she’s not the only Hollywood superstar in the cast.
Mary J. Blige plays Jackie, Rob’s mother, opposite Chiwetel who plays Skeet.
The movie will be available for streaming on Netflix from November 11, 2024.

A BOOZY creature is able to “drink unlimited amounts of alcohol” with seemingly no downsides.
The animal has been described as “remarkable” because it shows “no signs of intoxication or illness” – even after guzzling down “huge amounts” of alcohol.
Professor Eran Levin / Tele Aviv UniversityThe Oriental hornet is uniquely capable of drinking almost endless amounts of alcohol safely[/caption]
Wikimedia/AvinoamResearchers described the Oriental hornet as “remarkable” for its booze-busting abilities[/caption]
Now scientists say that the Oriental hornet is the “only known animal” that is capable of such a feat.
Humans are relatively good at consuming alcohol – but still suffer significant effects on behaviour, cognition, and health.
That’s because alcohol is toxic to most animals, even though it’s commonly produced in nature through the breakdown of sugars by yeasts and bacteria.
But researchers at Tel Aviv University say the Oriental hornet is bizarrely exempt from this rule.
Several animals do consume alcohol, like fruit flies and treeshews.
However, both suffer negative effects, including alcohol poisoning and fatty liver.
By comparison, the Oriental hornet may use a clever internal trick to dodge the ill-effects of a boozy drinking session.
“The hornets naturally store yeasts in their digestive system, which provides them with a unique environment that allows the yeast to develop and reproduce, creating new strains,” said Dr Sofia Boucebti, the study’s lead author.
“One explanation is that hornets transfer yeasts to fruits, which indirectly contributes to the production of wine.
“In our study, we labeled the alcohol consumed by the hornets with a heavy carbon isotope.
“As the alcohol is metabolized, it breaks down into carbon dioxide, which is exhaled.
“By measuring the amount of labeled carbon dioxide emitted, we were able to estimate the speed at which the alcohol was broken down.
“The findings were very surprising; we were amazed to see the rapid rate at which the hornets metabolized the alcohol.”
During the study, researchers found that even when 80% alcohol was the only source of nutrition, there was seemingly no effect on the hornet’s behaviour.
ORIENTAL HORNETS – WHAT ARE THEY?
Here's what you need to know.
The Oriental hornet is a type of wasp found in Southwest Asia, Northeast Africa, Madagascar, the Middle East, Central Asia, and some parts of Southern Europe.
They’ve also spread as far as Mexico and Chile due to human activity.
They build underground nests and communicate with each other using sound vibrations.
Incredibly, a yellow stripe on the hornet’s exoskeleton can absorb sunlight to generate electric potential, which may be used to supply energy for digging.
Adult Oriental hornets typically eat nectar and fruits, as well as scavenging for insects.
They also act as a pest to honey bees, attacking colonies for their honey and proteins.
Oriental hornets are a social wasp that will live in colonies with one queen and thousands of workers.
They’re known to have a painful sting, which has the potential to trigger an allergic reaction.
UnsplashToo much alcohol can have serious effects on the human body – but the same isn’t true for Oriental hornets[/caption]
And there appeared to be no difference to the lifespan of hornets that consumed sugar water versus those that only had alcohol for their entire three-month lives.
This clever superpower is extremely unique, the scientists explained.
“To the best of our knowledge, Oriental hornets are the only animal in nature adapted to consuming alcohol as a metabolic fuel,” said Professor Eran Levin, of Tel Aviv University.
“They show no signs of intoxication or illness, even after chronically consuming huge amounts of alcohol, and they eliminate it from their bodies very quickly.”
He added: “It was discovered that the hornet possesses several copies of the gene responsible for producing the enzyme that breaks down alcohol.
“This genetic adaptation may be related to their incredible ability to handle alcohol.
“We propose that the ancient relationship between hornets and yeast led to the development of this adaptation.”
Scientists say the research could help to develop new models for studying alcoholism in humans.
ALCOHOL – THE ILL EFFECTS
Here are some of the dangers of drinking alcohol, according to the National Health Service in the UK...
Serious risks include:
cancers of the mouth, upper throat, larynx, oesophagus, breast, liver and bowel – Cancer Research UK can provide further information on alcohol and cancer
stroke

1 week agoNewsComments Off on Futuristic superplane designed to fly twice as fast as Concorde & cross Atlantic in 90 MINS moves step closer to reality
A FUTURISTIC superplane that could fly people from London to New York City in just 90 minutes has moved one step closer to reality.
Engineers are inching closer towards the production of Yunxing aircraft that could potentially reach the speed of Mach 4 (3,00mph) – twice as fast as the British Concorde.
YUNXINGThe Yunxing prototype model has completed its first round of tests[/caption]
YUNXINGThe futuristic plane aims to kickstart supersonic passenger travel again[/caption]
Beijing-based company Space Transportation said that it successfully completed the first test flight for the prototype model just days ago.
Experts carried out several important systems and performance tests to reach their goal, including aerodynamics, thermal protection, and control systems.
The company said that Yunxing’s advanced aerospace design is tailored for high-speed and efficient transcontinental travel.
Designed for vertical take-off and landing, the jet could to reach altitudes exceeding 65,600 feet.
And the Chinese company aims to put full-size supersonic aircraft in the sky by 2027.
If successful, the ambitious aircraft could pave the way for a new era of commercial supersonic travel almost two decades after the popular British Concorde was retired from British Airways‘ fleet.
The next test to assess its engine’s full capacity would take place in November, a spokesperson for the company said.
Explaining the technology, Space Transportation emphasised the aircraft’s high lift-to-drag ratio, which would allow it to maintain high-efficiency performance as it flies through high-altitude zones.
This would not only make flights faster but also more economical and comfortable.
Space Transportation says its fleet of supersonic jets like the Yunxing can be used in global commercial flights and futuristic space tourism.
An animation on the company’s website shows the Yunxing being sent into the sky by a rocket booster, which then separates from the aircraft.
The clip shows the aircraft gliding through it to reduce its speed from supersonic levels to subsonic levels as it approaches its destinations.
A liquid rocket engine then ignites for a secondary deceleration to achieve a perfect vertical landing.
Shen Haibin, the company’s vice president, said: “The company aims to reduce the cost of space tourism tickets from Virgin Galactic’s $450,000 to just $63,180.”
‘SON OF CONCORDE’
Boom Technology’s supersonic aircraft, aptly dubbed “the son of Concorde“, has completed its third test flight just weeks after its last big takeoff.
The test model, XB-1, is being used before Boom unveils the actual aircraft set to be used in the future known as the Overture.
It’s hoped the aircraft will eventually cut the trip across the Atlantic in half.
Engineers are inching closer to performing a supersonic test flight before the end of the year, paving the way for mainstream supersonic travel more than two decades after Concorde retired.
The flight reached a new maximum altitude of 15,000 feet and speeds of 232 knots – the equivalent of 267mph – with a total flight time of 32 minutes.
Reaction Engines is in talks with Whitehall to secure a £20m lifeline amid mounting losses and slow revenue growth.
The company hopes its hybrid jet-rocket engine could one day enable a new era of hypersonic flight.
It would mean any destination around the world is never more than a few hours away.
Reaction hopes its engines will one day be able to fly at Mach 5 in the atmosphere – or even Mach 25 if they are used in space.
A short history of the Concorde
THE CONCORDE was the first supersonic passenger-carrying luxury airplane.
It became supersonic in 1969, flying passengers from New York to London in less than three hours.
It was the only aircraft in the British Airways fleet that required a flight engineer.
Concorde needed unsustainable amounts of fuel and created very loud sonic booms.
Then, in July 2000, a horror accident saw 113 people killed when an Air France Concorde ran over a small piece of metal while taking off from Charles de Gaulle Airport.
It caused the tyre to explode and the engine to ignite.
A year after the horrific crash, 9/11 majorly affected passenger numbers.
Ultimately a combination of these events led to its downfall.
By 2003, Air France and British Airways announced they would be retiring their fleet of Concorde planes.

Last year, Dryrobe didn’t take part in the Black Friday sale.
Instead, in 2023 the brand encouraged shoppers to “opt outside” and choose quality over fast fashion instead.
Which might be a little disappointing for any shoppers hoping to pick up one of its iconic changing robes at a discounted price.
But that doesn’t mean you’re completely out of luck when it comes to finding deals on Dryrobe products.
In this guide, we’ll dive into what you can expect this November, including how other retailers might offer discounts on Dryrobe products, and where to look for the best savings.
And for a pick of the very finest discounts, make sure you bookmark our best Black Friday deals page and check in throughout November.
When is Black Friday 2024?
Black Friday lands on Friday 29 November in 2024.
As always, this shopping extravaganza falls on the day after Thanksgiving in the United States.
The event kicks off the holiday shopping season, with brands and retailers offering significant discounts across everything from tech to fashion.
While Dryrobe doesn’t directly participate in Black Friday, other stores that stock the brand’s products may have their own sales running over this period, so it’s worth keeping an eye out.
Is Dryrobe taking part in Black Friday this year?
The brand hasn’t yet confirmed, but it’s highly unlikely Dryrobe will be running a Black Friday sale in 2024.
In previous years, Dryrobe has taken a firm stance against Black Friday participation, choosing instead to champion sustainable shopping and thoughtful consumption.
The brand’s philosophy is rooted in quality over quantity, encouraging customers to invest in durable, long-lasting products rather than chasing fast discounts.
That said, some authorised retailers that stock Dryrobe products might still offer discounts as part of their wider Black Friday promotions.
Stockists such as Ellis Brigham, My Triathlon and other outdoor specialists sometimes feature Dryrobe products in their seasonal sales.
Amazon also occasionally features offers on selected styles of Dryrobe.
It’s a good idea to check these sites closer to Black Friday if you’re set on finding a deal.
What to expect from Dryrobe’s Black Friday sale 2024
Since Dryrobe is unlikely to be running its own Black Friday sale, don’t expect any discounts directly from the brand.
However, third-party retailers may reduce prices on selected Dryrobe items as part of their own Black Friday promotions.
Look out for sales on popular styles like the Advance Long Sleeve and Advance Short Sleeve robes, as well as accessories like towels, beanies, and backpacks.
While the savings may not be as substantial as with other brands, a modest discount on these premium products is still a worthwhile catch.
Here’s a list of some of the retailers who we expect will offer Black Friday deals:
However, as with Black Friday, Dryrobe won’t be directly participating.
That said, if any third-party retailers still have stock left over from Black Friday, they might extend their sales into Cyber Monday.
It’s worth checking these sites again if you don’t manage to bag a discount during Black Friday weekend.
How much does Dryrobe’s shipping cost?
If you do decide to buy directly from Dryrobe, it’s useful to know about their shipping options.
Dryrobe offers free standard UK delivery on orders over £50, which covers all of their core changing robes.
For those in a hurry, next-day delivery is available at an additional cost of £8.95, though during peak periods like Black Friday, delivery times may be slightly longer.
While Dryrobe doesn’t do Black Friday, it does offer a couple of year-round discounts.
Students, NHS workers, military personnel, veterans and emergency staff in the UK and US can take advantage of a 10% discount through the website.
If you’re looking to buy more than five Dryrobes, you can also potentially receive a discount if you get in touch with the brand’s team.
While Dryrobe probably won’t be running any Black Friday discounts this year, there are still ways to save if you’re strategic about where you shop.
Keep an eye on trusted third-party retailers and don’t be afraid to shop around – you might just find the Dryrobe you’ve been eyeing up at a fraction of the price.
