Multiple explosions happened early on Friday in Kaohsiung city in the south of the island after reported leaks in the sewage system.

Witnesses said the gas leaks started at about 9pm, forming white fog, before fire could be seen and explosions heard on several streets.

Photographs from the scene showed overturned cars and destroyed roads, while some observers saw bodies on the streets.

Taiwan’s National Fire Agency said 15 people were killed and 228 were injured. It added that five firefighters were among the dead.

Dad Finds Croc In Bathroom When Going For A Shower

 

Kalpesh Patel could be forgiven for making a snap decision not to take a shower.

After entering the bathroom of his home in western Indian the 41-year-old discovered a five-foot long crocodile had beaten him to it, and had taken up residence under his shower taps.

He said when he told his wife and children not to go in the bathroom because there was a reptile there, not surprisingly, they didn’t believe him.

So Mr Patel got his neighbours at Sojitra village, Gujarat, located about 80 kilometres from the city of Ahmedabad, to take a look, and they confirmed the find.

Mr Patel said he had no idea how the crocodile got into his home, ‘but we weren’t prepared to let it out again’.

The police were called and forestry officials then captured the crocodile.

Police said that the crocodile had been transported to a lake in the nearby Malataj village of Anand district where it had been released unharmed.
