    German cows cause methane blast in Rasdorf

    Methane gas released by dairy cows has caused an explosion in a cow shed in Germany, police said.

    The roof was damaged and one of the cows was injured in the blast in the central German town of Rasdorf.

    Thanks to the belches and flatulence of the 90 dairy cows in the shed, high levels of the gas had built up.
