BOOM!

Owners of cars parked along the street near a building site in Warsaw, Poland got a nasty surprise last Wednesday. They returned to their cars to find them covered in quick drying cement. It seems a cement mixer exploded at the building site depositing it's contents all over the street and everything on it. Now all involved insurance companies are pointing the finger at each other while the car owners fume.

Yup, they're very set in their ways. Without concrete evidence to back up a claim they won't render payment. Though on aggregate they aren't so bad, they could argued the policy doesn't cover stone chips.

I'm guessing someone watches too much Mythbusters.

(The only thing that bugs me about an otherwise cool explosion is that some retard in editing decided to synchronise the sound of the boom to the visual.)
