Exploding manhole covers are not frequent,  but not uncommon.  They are usually caused by the insulation of underground cables being damaged.  Caused by age, rats, or other damage.  The damaged insulation eventually heats up from the voltage causing gas. to form.  Then the pressure shoots off the manhole cover.
