गाईले गरायो भयंकर बिष्फोट :: German cows cause methane blast in Rasdorf
Methane gas released by dairy cows has caused an explosion in a cow shed in Germany, police said. The roof was damaged and one of the cows was injured in the blast in the central German town of Rasdorf. Thanks to the belches and flatulence of the 90 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 force said in a statement quoted by Reuters news agency. Emergency services attended the farm and took gas readings to test for the risk of further blasts, said local media. Cows are believed to emit up to 500 litres of methane - a potent greenhouse gas - each per day.
जर्मनीको गाई फार्ममा रेसडोर्फ गाउँको एक गाई फार्ममा हालै मात्र ठूलो बिष्फोट भएको थियो । जहाँ फार्मको छत भत्किएर एउटा गाई घाइते पनि भएको थियो । डेरीमा ९० गाई बाँधिएको थियो ।
घटना लगत्तै त्यहाँ पुगेको प्रहरीले दावी गरेका छ कि-’विस्फोटमा गाईको फालेको मिथेन ग्यास जिम्मेवार छ ।’ समाचार एजेन्सी रोयटर्सका अनुसार प्रहरीले जारी गरेको विज्ञप्तिमा भनिएको छ-इलेक्टि्रक चार्जका कारणले ग्याँसमा आगो लाग्यो र विस्फोट भयो ।’
स्थानीय सञ्चार माध्यमहरुका अनुसार घटनास्थल पुगेका आपत्तकालीन सेवाका कर्मचारीहरुले डेरीमा रहेको ग्यासको मात्रा नापेका थिए । त्यहाँ रहेका गाईले हरेक दिन ५०० लिटरसम्म ग्यास उत्सर्जन गर्ने बताइएको छ ।
