Toilet explosion rocks Canadian home

http://www.cbc.ca/m/news/canada/montreal/west-island-man-s-toilet-explodes-while-city-crew-cleans-sewers-1.2848682

In Beaconsfield, Quebec, Canada, city workers were fixing the sewers near Robert Pentney's home. Then things got scary.

From the article:

When Robert Pentney awoke to a foul odour filling his Beaconsfield home, he set out to find what was causing the smell. He got his answer when he opened the door to his ground-floor bathroom.
