When it comes to sewers and drains, some blockages are more severe than others. For example, in 2014, a drain cleaning company discovered half of a discarded Mini car, making it one of the largest objects ever found in London. Although an impressive achievement, unblocking the capital’s sewers that year cost a total of £70 million. We’re sure whoever parked the car regretted it.

No matter how much time people spend inspecting and researching objects contained in sewers, some of them are unable to be marked. That was the case in 2009 when a strange jaw bone was discovered in a sewer in Canada. The bone may have come from a variety of herbivorous creatures. Bone findings aren’t as shocking in Canada because the country has a higher-than-average distribution of dinosaur remains. Finding a bone in a finished tube, on the other hand, is more rare.
