Hailstones blasted man off toilet
An Austrian man, Martin Bierbauer, was blasted off the toilet when huge hailstones started shooting out of it.
The crazy weather in Austria where the temperature dropped over 30 degrees centigrade in just a few days has led to freak hail storms in the country.
Martin Bierbauer said: “I heard the pipes rumbling a bit, and suddenly hailstones the size of golf balls started exploding out of the toilet like it was a popcorn machine.
“There was an avalanche of ice that quickly filled the toilet, then the entire flat, and eventually the entire building.
“I ran down the stairs with the hailstones following me, and other residents did the same.”
The incident was caused by hailstones flooding into a local drain during a torrential downpour, which became blocked. The pressure become to great and the hailstones had to go somewhere and they came out through the toilets.

I call complete and utter bullshit, considering that the ceiling insulation is laying on the toilet seat, the ceiling tile laying on the floor…looks to me like the hail collapsed the roof and poured into the floor. If you really stop and think about the path the hail would have to follow to go up plumbing piping in the first place, you’d realize this was a hoax. Hail would clump together into a giant ball, not roll like ping pong balls up a pipe.

Yep, Edward always fight for the oil companies. Poor guys robbing us is tiring work.
Besides that is what global warming is all about right oil companies. You turkey. The warming theory (no one ever said it was fact) is the idea similar to smoke in a closed room: definite space can only hold so much smoke before it changes the air quality abd other thing are affected. For instance too much smoke in the room drives some of the population to leave (eye irritant and lung agitant). Study the theory you knucklehead.

Im not sure if robert is right. I do agree with him that this is a hoax and that hail stones would definatly not be pushed up the network of pipes and out of the toilet. The thing thst makes me wonder then, if the hail had collapsed the roof is why is it not on top of the toilet and also the cupboard to the right of the picture?? you’d think if the roof collapsed it would be on the top of the surfaces of the cupboards not just the floor???

that is not possibly. Complete BS. I agree with Robert, and being a plumber, yeah . . . that’s bullshit. Waste pipe fittings are designed to NOT impede on the flow of water/waste running OUT of the building/system (or to simplify it, DOWN ), and it is all based on gravity. Hail falling from the sky into a vent would not be able to get from that vent or main stack into a branch line, let alone travel up that branchline to any of the fixtures. . It’s not physically possible.

Robert is probably wrong. Reports on this are all over the internetz and in Austrian media, too.
