Half A Car
When it comes to sewers and drains, some blockages are more serious than others. For example, in 2014, a drain cleaning company discovered half of a discarded Mini car, making it one of the largest items ever discovered in London. While an impressive achievement, unblocking the capital’s sewers that year cost a total of £70 million. We’re sure whoever parked that car regretted it.
Random Jaw Bones
No matter how much time people spend examining and studying items found in sewers, some of them are unable to be identified. That was the case in 2009 when a mysterious jaw bone was discovered in a sewer in Canada. The bone could have come from a variety of herbivorous creatures. Bone discoveries aren’t as surprising in Canada because the country has a higher-than-average distribution of dinosaur remains. Finding a bone in a completed tunnel, on the other hand, is more unusual.
