Smoker Ignites Portable Toilet Explosion
Thu Jul 15, 7:25 AM
BLACKSVILLE, W.Va. - 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.
