In the heart of London there's a hidden river. The River Fleet was bricked over to form a covered sewer, allowing millions of London residents to live in just a few square miles without serious disease issues.

“Looks like a sewer, smells like a sewer...that’s because it is a sewer.” 10/10 script
I laughed out loud when I heard that. 😂
If you turn on captions it says looks like a sarah smells like a sarah
Peak writing 😂 plus with caption it says “looks like a sarah, smells like a sarah, that’s because it is a sewer”
*that's because it is a sewer.*
That line truly moved me
Anyone who works in that environment deserves a wage worthy of footballers.
Soon it will be true cause nobody want this job but want to use sewage like civilized ppl accustomed to.
Final Fantasy True. For instance, residential Plumbers make great $ and a standard plumber’s job is like working in Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory compared to these guys
Nahh 20 buck ill.find some.mexicans to do it
I work in sewers, salary ranges from 50 to 80k.
@@qwertyqwerty697 Eh, sewage is super interesting to me. I'd love this job.
I’m not even there and I’m having anxiety from lack of face protection.
LosZavion And where is the gas mask?
@@chieffirefigherplays they dont need gas masks, they have a monitor which you can hear it pipping on the video.. that the digital hydrogen sulfide monitors taking readings, if the reading reaches a certain level it will alert them, and evacuation ASAP

Got nervous every time he reached to fix his helmet, sheeeesh.

I was worried I was the only one
@@atleastimtrying5391 Seriously, It's really hard not to touch your head instinctively.
Yeah gotta be careful of making a skid mark that might accidently touch the eye
This is ridiculous ... where are the masks and the respirators?!?!
seriously... how is this not a health hazard
It's shit not fallout
Big McLargehuge It's not just shit, infact, even if it was shit, shit has alot of bacteria, not only that, not only Shit flows in sewers, from dishwater to chemicals. Air borne viruses and other gasses aren't exactly meant for humans to sniff, especially in a closed off area.
I was thinking that.
Cupid's House don't you hear the beeping. That's the device telling them the air is safe to breathe.
"Nothing could have prepared me for the overpowering smell..." A mask might have certainly helped.
😂
LMAO

I read your comment the exact moment he said that
Much respect to these workers, they literally sift through our shit so we dont get sick. 👑 kings.
Wooper :] Thanks & you’re welcome.
They're heroes but maybe a bit suicidal. They don't wear enough protection, specially for the face. I'd prefer to suffer a bit of suffocation than to have any of it on my face!
@@TR4R that's what I was thinking
It disturbs me that he keeps touching his helmet to adjust it
Ikr
There's a time and a place and that's not it
Like he could do it with his forearm but no, has to leave brown stains on his helmet after every adjustment
By the end of the video his helmet is covered in shit.
“The worst thing is getting a bit of splashback and getting it in your mouth” NOOOOOOOOOOOO
Yet, they don't use face shield. 😷
Eeeeeeeeew he spit too!
Ur finished then
porqueerpineほもか that’s it cheif. That splashes up and hits me in the mouth. I’m ending myself on the spot.
I've had that lovely experience, but just by waste from behind a washing machine so not nearly as bad as this lol
The fact they're just straight up going in there without full protection so they can still show their faces and talk well for the camera is the most British thing I've seen.

@@SS_BAJA truly proud of the 9 months ago you.
Mask just makes th smell worse after 15mins because it build upside, mask are good from protection of dust and pollution but not smell

Who else’s stress levels kept rising every time he touched his dang helmet?
Pretty sure he touched his bare skin a couple of times as well.
In his mouth too 😂
I was screaming to keep that filthy glove away from his mouth
I was thinking exactly the same.
Who else is wondering when you will find out what stress really is.
I’m taking a fatberg on the toilet while watching this.

Eyyy
It hurts seeing these people getting paid less even though they are doing god's work while Celebrities and Sports players getting paid millions. :/ Honestly these guys are the real deal.
They are gonna be the first ones to discover unknown monsters from resident evil and other horror games
The are, because the LITERALLY keep shit flowing
Macyle celebrities and sports players get paid a lot of money because what they do is hard. Can you act? Can you tackle a 290lb guy? Chances are, you (like so many of us) can take a shovel and break up fatbergs. It’s not pleasant, but it’s not anything like being an Oscar winning performer or hall of fame athlete. THATS why they make a lot of money. Ask yourself, “how many people can do that?” and you’ll begin to understand why people get paid what they do.
Right. Like I get it pro sports and celebs are very talented, but at the end of the day they are doing something enjoyable and millions would kill to be in their shoes. This on the other hand is a necessary service and if you do this in a well of area with a city with a large enough fund then MAYBE you might see $100,000 but more realistically 40-80 thousand. It's criminal tbhey don't get better for stuff like this.
Zachary Templin I don’t think necessity or joy dictates pay. The reasons athletes get paid a lot is because they are very rare, very hard working and very talented. The other reason is because they are part of a commercial industry (NFL, MLB, etc) that has become rich enough to pay these people a lot. How did they get rich? Fans. People like you and I. They are stars. That kind of money just doesn’t exist in many industries. Now, would you or I go breaking up “fatbergs” for what these guys are getting paid? I don’t know. Chances are they work for Public Works and/or it’s a government job. They probably get paid a lot more than I do and have much better health care than mine. But, I’m not really willing to do what they do. I’ll take less, thank you. Ha!
Flushed Away lol if you listen hard enough, you can hear the slugs saying "beware, BEWARE!" 🤣
Imagine two things: 1. Hitting a shot of fatberg “water” 2. Accidentally cutting your skin with a sharp part of the shovel and getting an instant sepsis and dying in there
Fat is slippery. How likely are you to slip and fall all the way in there?! Christ, give them some fucking masks!
Instant sepsis?
@@thomasrobinette3227 lol I laughed at that too
I'll take the latter, please and thank you
Right omg my thoughts exactly!!!! This gave me horrible anxiety

Christ, I'm so ashamed right now. I wasn't aware of any of this, until today at the sink I suddenly wondered "wait isn't this going to create a total mess down there". So I looked it up and apparently there's people down there having to manually break that stuff up. I'm definitely going to use the bin for fats from here on out.
As a professional HVAC guy who did rooter work as well. ...WHY OH WHY ARE YOU NOT WEARING MASKS AND REBREATHERS!!!!... That's disgusting. PPE's are essential.
"peepees" hah
Alex Loc I’m pretty sure they know, it’s just if you tried saying the abbreviation as a word it would be peepee (PPE).
@Alex Loc I read this In the voice of Riley Freeman
@bear grills that would be a pretty bullshit reason.... He literally said he got some in his mouth... If that doesn't warrant even basic protection I don't know what would
@Alex Loc love the last part. Lol
I'm surprised they are not given masks
It isn't dangerous, just unpleasant, and you can hear the beeping of monitors.
i would be worried about the various illnesses these Londoners excrete.
They should have full on hazmat suits
iamgerg, yes it is especially as it is human shit... This means that most diseases that the person had, you could easily get by eating their shit... For example, in the movie "The Martian" in the bit where he uses shit as fertiliser, it could have easily killed him, however it was fine as it was completely frozen to about -250 C before, which killed all potential of spreading disease. This however is not treated or protected...
MrMasterdavid freezing doesnt kill bacteria
The way how hes gagging like any ordinary human and they're just acting like it's another normal day. 😂😂
"Looks like a sewer, smells like a sewer" "Because it is a sewer" No shit. Well in this case, * _all_ the shit* innit?
I have never been more happy that smell-o-vision doesn't exist.
Rappy the magic dinosaur It does exist, it's just not widespread, accurate, affordable, fast, or basically any good at all.
To be fair, most videos/movies would suck if you could smell it.
Aromascope exists...
😂😂😂
But be afraid. Hubert Farnsworth invented the smelloscope
I bet he eats his sandwiches down there, totally normal.

With some basic training, you can also eat sandiwches while taking a shit. Believe me, it saves some precious time.

This wasn’t intended as a comedy video but I couldn’t stop laughing when he asked him what he had for breakfast...!
The fact that he kept touching his face and helmet is what got me.
Why do I have an urge to wear a hazmat suit?
maybe because you are thinking about entering a hazardous area?
Just call me bubble-boy.
When they got to the fat area just looking at the guy's expressions made me cover my mouth/nose area with my sweater. The thing that sucks about that is that in an outdoors situation you can always turn your head back or away when you smell something ripe, but in there, in that closed, tight, compartment every breath you inhale your lungs are filling with that putrid, rank, foulness.
@@hakon5873 that's called the toilet at an old KFC
Becaise its a natural instict :D
how are these men not given more protection to work in such a toxic environment. They should be in a fully sealed of hazmat suit with respirators.
Prokash Debnath It is surprisingly not really toxic at all besides the occasional generation of gas.
Dude watch a YT vid on Indian sewer divers, pretty much their skin is the only layer of protection.

Today, a waste water dump truck carrying sewer sludge drove in front of me and there are no words in the English language to describe how putrid they smell was. Even from about 800 feet away you could still smell it. There was no escape.
No mask means you are inhaling and ingesting a fair amount of raw sewage in the form of aerosolized particles. Great way to end up with a hellacious respiratory infection.
tetrabromobisphenol Agreed. Airborne particulates. And no protections even from splash backs??? Etheir they have balls of steel or just flat out morons, I dunno. Lucky son of a b*tches. I would be safe in a triple layered hazmat suit, full coverage, and with an oxygen tank. Oh and second layer of suit inside would be kevlar so it's stab/poke/slice proof for sharp objects like needles etc..
@@ErbiumErbium Kevlar isn't good against sharp objects only bullets

Lol
I farted to while watching this it made me hungry for some pure fat and shit oh boy
HOW ARE THEY NOT WEARING PROTECTIVE MASKS?!
Because the show demands it!
After working for a month down there you would forget about the smell, and the disease down there isn't as risky as you would think. As long as you remember to; Never touch your face or your helmet - no matter how much you want to scratch your head or itch your nose Fight the urge to rub the shit off of your hands and on to your clothes Properly cover and protect any and all cuts and scratches Always bring a backup set of clothes Any serious injury that comes into contact with the shit down there means you need to go to the hospital immediately Oh and get as many Wellington's as you can.. you'll need them
A lot of it is gray water also, not pure shit, water from sinks, shower, washers, etc..so it's a bit diluted down
Cuz their brave

Brason You have to get about 8 different shots before you can go down there.

That’s absolutely horrible. Yikes.
Much respect to the cameraman for holding the shot so steady while walking through that. Hope that guy got a major pay increase!
Aren't those splashes getting to one's mouth potentially toxic?
Beło Szmeło yes. Faeces can contain Ebola, FEB and many more horrendous diseases. I wouldn't go in there unless I was fully covered up with an air supply.
ah, it strengthens your immune system ;)
Ironically, not likely. There are very few bacteria that eat fat on its own, and while the organics do harbour potentially harmful bacteria, when you fat with masonry you get saponification of the fats, (hence why they are white and not yellow.). This creates a surfactant such that it is hard for bacteria to form large colonies in such an environment. (this is also why too much fat is bad for your local waste treatment plant too.) But I would keep my mouth closed personally.

Your comment reveals that 'micro' likely applies to more than just your photography. How is it possible that you can't see there is no women stepping up and fighting to do this job? How is this not a feminist subject and cause? There before you, in the sewers of London, is the opportunity to equal up and put your money where your mouth is. But rather than embrace the challenge, you offer silence and deflection. How the comments turned into a feminist debate, was quite simply the before mentioned silence and lack of genuine participation in actual equality. Well, here is your opportunity.
