Toilet backdraft

It seems we can’t go more than a week without another crazy cockroach story coming out of Taiwan. This time in Taipei, a woman surnamed Xie was cleaning her bathroom. In the process a roach appeared. Freaked, Xie killed the roach and wrapped its body up in toilet paper. Looking to dispose of the evidence, she set the bundle of toilet paper on fire and proceeded to throw it into the trash. When she threw the bundle into the toilet, her toilet exploded! The reason it exploded is due to the cleaning solutions she used to clean the toilet, it appears that the mixture plus the fire created a mini explosion. This is crazy as Taiwan is a tropical area, roaches are very common there.
