Fire in the hole! 90 Farting cows cause shed to explode in Germany
Dairy cows with a serious case of flatulence have simultaneously ’broken wind’ and blown up a building in a fiery explosion.
嚴重脹氣的乳牛同時「撇風」，在勐烈爆炸中炸毀一棟建築物。
No doubt there were all sorts of "whoever smelt it dealt it" accusations flying around amongst the herd afterwards.
無疑的，事後這群牛中會有各式各樣「做賊喊捉賊」的指控滿天飛。
The methane gas released by 90 windy dairy cows causes an explosion in a cow shed in the central German town of Rasdorf， police say.
警方說，德國中部拉斯多夫鎮90隻腸胃脹氣的乳牛所排放的甲烷氣體，在一座牛棚內引發爆炸。
Thanks to the belches and flatulence of the dairy cows in the shed， high levels of the gas had built up. Then "a static electric charge caused the gas to explode with flashes of flames" the police said in a statement quoted by Reuters news agency.
With only one cow out of the 90 suffering injuries， it could be said that the herd in question were let-off the hook and it goes without saying that their owner will have to take extra precautions if the animals are going to be at this sort of crack in future.
