BLACKSVILLE, W.Va. (AP) - Warning: smoking in the toilet can be dangerous.
A portable toilet exploded Tuesday after a man who was inside it lit a
cigarette.
Emergency workers said the man was not severely injured and drove himself
to Clay-Battelle Community Health Center. He was later transferred to Ruby
Memorial Hospital. His name and condition were not available Wednesday.
The explosion, which occurred in Blacksville, resulted from a buildup of
methane gas inside the portable toilet. The methane did not "take too
kindly" to the lit cigarette, said a spokeswoman for Monongalia Emergency
Medical Services.

True or not, smokers deserve it. In fact, it gives me an idea
for spiking public washrooms....

Sounds like one of those useful filler stories that never happened.
Opening the door would clear out enough methane to make an explosion
impossible.

But methane is a heavy gas. Enough of it could have accumulated in
the tank to ignite.

Or it would draw enough methane up through the toilet into the outhouse
so that the cigarette would ignite it.

I saw something like this on "Mythbusters"--only they explored the
"gasoline in the toilet" story. Took them several tries to blow the thing
up. Poor crash-test dummy got his jimmies melted!
