My guess is fire hydrant. I have seen a couple of them knocked off and they squirt about 25 feet in the air when there is no car on it.

That is my guess as well.

Is there so much waterpressure that it can lift a car ?
That is amazing.

It’s a backup of the sewer - you can see they are in flood conditions. Sometimes the path of least resistance for the flood water is through the sewer and then it spouts up with incredible force - like an artesian well

When I was younger we had a local mall (pretty big one) that had a very expansive parking lot around it. Scattered around it were random manholes that were just party of the city sewer system. Well, one time we had a flash flood (TX, it happens) and it completely flooded out the storm drain system and so much pressure got pushed in the system that it started actually firing off these manhole covers like 20ft in the air across the parking lot with little geysers following. Was bizarre to watch them pop up, was like a movie scene.

Yeah, that makes sense to me too. Now that i remember it. We had a few years ago a lot of rain here and it rained so hard that the man hole covers moved away because of the water pressure in the overflowing sewer . I had to lift ta manhole cover to put it back into place because otherwise i could not get out of the parking space with my car. Manhole covers are very heavy, i have learned.
But i was replying to the suggestion from stopsighhank that it was a fire hydrant. Because i doubt that sincerely.

Due to the stupidity of the challenge I am going to continue believing it is real. Please don't ruin my hopes and dreams by proving it is not.

Yeah a hydrant definitely would do that, but it also wouldn't be delayed. You knock that hydrant off and car gets lifted immediately.
The original clip in discussion was definitely storm sewer pressure during a flood, not a hydrant.

Open it in a video editor where you can do frame-stepping and it's not even good CGI. It just happens so fast that the mediocrity is well masked.

Here's a great example:

It's so violent it rips out an entire chunk of concrete as that was a sewer grate set into the concrete. It could survive practically anything else, but that torrent of water had far too much force.

Is it bad that I laugh at these hysterically every time and that I have no remorse for someone dancing in a traffic lane?

 

[William Gaatjes]

Incredible. I would not have expected that. But it makes sense when seeing a run away firehose flying around..
I must verify this with a colleague who is a voluntary firefighter.

But here in the Netherlands, i think that the pressure is not that high, just enough volume/second is needed. The pump is in the firetruck and delivers the pressure.Sometimes, when there is no fire hydrant nearby, water is taken from another fire truck or from a local canal.

It's to indicate a number. I must have seen it hundreds of times. I'm surprised you haven't?

He's questioning why it would be a required part of the access code entry.

Gate has a telephone keypad. There aren’t too many symbols available on a telephone keypad.

This makes so much more sense now...the original I was like wtf does one have to do with the other?
