Man escapes exploding toilet in Florida incident
In Satellite Beach Florida Halton Martin barely escaped as a ringing phone pulled him from a bathroom before a toilet exploded. He had cleaned the tank with two brands of cleanser and said the blast shattered the porcelain and disintegrated the tank.
