My brother did the research on it for ConEd in NYC. The salt from the roads and the melting snow combine and eat away the wire insulation in the underground cables. That ignites the methane in the sewers and BOOM! 200 lb Frisbee. |

It can do a lot more than blow a few manholes off if it isn't managed.

Not really relevant to the subject of the post but somewhat relevant to the article. I read this gem in the article.
Baker, a Republican, said he would wait for the investigation to be completed and would not speculate on how the incident may have occurred. He said highway officials could not recall a similar incident in recent memory. Why do journalists do that? What in the hell does his being a Republican have to do with flying 200lb manhole covers? |

If the MH cover was loose in its ring a car can flip it right out.
Never seen a 200# sewer MH cover, electric or phone maybe, those holes can be pretty big. Putting a MH in a highway travel lane is beyond stupid. 13 yrs. sewer maintenance guy here. |

Was there an F1 car in front of him?
They create a lot of downforce by creating a vacuum under the car. That vacuum could have sucked the cover off its hole. Probably not, but hate to see if a supercar does something like that at speed what the Dims will try to ban next. |

Had a co coworker get a compound leg fracture when he responded to a manhole fire.
Stepped off the fire truck and onto a different manhole cover. The cover that blew was remote from the fire. He couldn't see it due to snow. Link |

It happened 2 blocks from my apartment, and I talked to the firefighters ( station was across the street from me ) who responded. Witnesses said exactly that, that one big truck hit the cover and it flipped up and through an oncoming car's windshield, removing the driver's head. the ring under the street had shifted, apparently, allowing for the vehicle impact to launch it. |

Lots of old electrical and transformer vaults under streets. Lots exploding gases run under streets. Old 40-50-70 year old transformer vaults that are bomb/arc flash waiting to happe. And as mentioned the ground around the support collar of man hole decay,not but on well, fastener broke, many ways these can fail and fly. Tanker truck in a newer neighborhood wrecks, heavier than air or flammables get in storm drains. One spark and boom, over pressure has to exit somewhere.
