Parking in Montreal is a nightmare. It's hard enough to find a spot and then you have to worry about exploding manholes throwing your car into the air.

That's what happened on Monday in Canada's "Sin City" when a flash flood turned a manhole into a geyser and badly damaged one unlucky driver's car, according to NBC.

The gushing water thrust the vehicle into the air several times, in video broadcast by the BBC.
