The better part of a Chinese apartment complex has been menaced by explosions, after a power surge caused most of the electronics at the site to explode at once.

The incident reportedly unfolded in the Chinese metropolis of Chongqing, where a mixed commercial apartment complex housing some 100 tenants saw scores of residents afflicted by exploding electronics.

One married couple reported they were peacefully watching TV only to see the TV explode with a crack and begin belching black smoke into their apartment. At the same time, smoke begane pouring forth from their fridge, AC and PC, causing them to hastily turn off the breaker and flee the building.

Apparently there were no serious injuries as a result of the incident.

WOW!....

Oh no. I hope the Chinese people living there are okay.

Sounds like something with the transmission lines. If they're getting rolling surges it means they're using more power than they can produce and/or distribute.

Made in China.

^ basically means "be careful".
