Holy cow, it was crazy at first and then again!
That guy had to be saying "Thank goodness I made it through, that was the craziest thing I've ever seen. I thought I was going to die, let me get out of here and see just how close it was.
*kaboom goes the water*
Not again? WTF!?"
Haha, what was it though?
I don't think I remember what the cause of that gyser was.
Anyone remember this old video?

WTF?!!! Man, what the hell is that?
ETA: Is IT real?
WTF was that?
High pressure water main that blew. Second blast probably came from it being "blown" so it could be capped. It's happened here in the Springs once or twice.
I'm just guessing though. Usually HP mains are not right under the street as that one seemed to be...
Second vid just looks like a regular sewer line with some junk built up. If you notice it was "flexing" in cracks which can easily happen with solids due to the gases interacting with air flow that may be comming through the cracks... lots of other "excuses" as well...

Jake didn't see the video, did he? [Coffee]
The weird-looking “sewer creature” spotted in a YouTube video is nothing more than a colony of tubifex worms, according to city officials in Raleigh, North Carolina.
The creepy clip (embedded above), which shows a camera getting up close and personal with what appears to be a pulsating glob of slime (or maybe a sewer-dwelling Horta (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horta_(Star_Trek))), drew the attention of city officials after sci-fi blog io9 wrote about the video in a post headlined: “Video Footage Surfaces of North Carolina Sewer Creatures (http://io9.com/5304670/video-footage-surfaces-of-north-carolina-sewer-creatures).”
The worms live in sewage and pond sediment, a Raleigh official News 14 Carolina, but the video makes them look unnatural. “They seem to respond to the light (http://www.news14.com/content/local_news/triangle/611427/raleigh--sewer-creature--surprises-city-officials/Default.aspx) from the camera,” said Ed Buchan, environmental coordinator at the Raleigh Public Utilities Department. “That light is pretty hot.”
While the worms are a natural part of life in the sewer, Buchan said spotting them is still somewhat rare. “I’ve seen a lot of sewer TV before and I’ve never seen them,” he said. “We were surprised. We didn’t know immediately what it was.
Intersting, I've never seen it before... worms huh?.... kewl.
Dr Fwd quoted Stuart's video, so I assumed that's what he was asking about. The first video, the geyser thing? Liberals did it probably.
Ok, video 1 was intense and would have definitely been a WTF moment, the second one was obviously an alien from Pluto that has taken residence here (found out the good locations from the rednecks that it had abducted) - this nonsense about the gases and air flow, it's all hooey, it's a frickin alien man.
Sorry Ranger, I knew that.... but after my last...eh....er... "exam" from "Bob" the Alien, he reminded me that if I said anything then I would be due for another... colonoscopy without the anethsia....

The geyser video is from a storm sewer that cannot handle the load from a heavy rain.
Oh sure muddle up the post with Facts.

You too huh? Man, those things hurt! [Beer]
That worm video is crazy. I hadnt seen that before.
I remember when it came out and everyone was freaking out. I was thinking that if I was a lone tech watching video at like 2 am by myself I might have needed new pants.
For some reason I thought there was an article some where saying we had those in Denver, but I didn't look as hard this time.
Now that sounds like a real pain in the ass !!! [ROFL2]
You there, I see what you did! [Beer]

My question:
In the geyser video...at about the 1:27 mark, if you look at the left side of the screen on the same side of the road as the vehicle that got stopped by the geyser, it almost looks like a person approaching the hole from up against that short wall, then just sort of blends in with the water.
Am I just seeing things?
There is for sure a dude running around on the highway, if that's what you mean.

I think you mean "stopped by the Storm-drain access cover" HUGE Round thing in front of his truck, you can see water running around it at 0:45
Cool Stuff... go full screen at watch the truck slam on Brakes and come to a VERY Sudden stop at 0:12
