This is the vile moment a burst pipe sprayed a fountain of sewage as high as a 10-story tower block over a Moscow suburb.
Nauseating footage showed a tower of murky water gushing from a pipe next to what appears to be a construction site in the Novaya Moskva district – before it rained down on nearby cars and buildings.
Pro-Ukrainian commentator and former adviser to Ukraine’s interior ministry Anton Gerashchenko shared the video on social media and jokingly called the incident ‘a s**tshow, literally!’.
Followers were quick to make jabs at Russia, with one X user commenting: ‘I see Moscow’s newest fountain attraction which represents everything about them’.
‘The s**it in Moscow is apparently under very high pressure’, another said.

A third follower commented: ‘The most accurate representation of Russian society and civilization since Tolstoy’s War and Peace’.
His comments came amid reports that some cars and buildings in the area had been sprayed with human waste after the sewage system had burst.
However some Moscow-based Telegram channels said that the dirty water was likely to have come from high-pressure water being forced through a gas pipeline.
The Watch Out, Moscow channel said: ‘Regional Gazprom told us that this is how air is purged for a new section of the gas pipeline. The situation is normal and is under the control of specialists’.
Gazprom is a Russian state-owned energy corporation.
Clean up crews are reportedly on site to contain the sewage.
The incident comes amid complaints from Russians that since the war with Ukraine started, essential infrastructure like hot water systems are now only working sporadically.
Last months, a similar sickly incident happened in China after a ‘poo-cano’ of browny orange waste showered the road in the southern Guangxi region of China.
Footage showed how the human waste thundered more than 33 ft into the air, as windscreens were pelted with globules of excrement as it rained down all around.
Unsuspecting pedestrians were also splattered from head toe.
