I have some NYC Sewer Alegators to trade!
Thanks, I haven’t watched this one yet but I will later, I’ve noticed you have started using modern imagery. I might be alone in thinking but I much prefer the old pictures and videos. It adds more realism.. have a nice day.
Very interesting story, and great narration! I could almost feel myself there
I bet that's it! The alligators in American sewers were sent down to get rid of the pigs without thought to how we're going to deal with the alligators now. Typical though. People never seem to plan ahead.
Man another video that was entertaining, informative and brilliantly done. Fact Feast is the only channel I'm subscribed to where all notifications are turned on.
Hmm, I am sure some of the rats grew to a very large size. All and all a horrible thought, thank you I enjoyed your narration immensely!
Olden style X-Files monster of the week.🙃🎃
Oh yes I believe it!
You have outdone yourselves! This was fantastic!
Thanks!
How are you doing sir thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel. As always iam gathering key points about topics you mentioned briefly here it is first of all definition of sewer is waste pipe that carries sewage or surface water . Synonyms cloaca , gutter , septic tank . London whitechapel fat berg in 2017 Thames water horrifying discovery sewer below whitechapel fat berg 250 meters long , 130 tons mass of oil and grease congealed with wet wipes and other sanitary products. Fat berg weighing more than African elephant has been cleared from severe in central London. In February 2018 museum of London opened fat berg . The display about infamous whitechapel fat berg is huge clump of oil , rubbish and waste which block up severe below city . Fat berg is biggest one ever found in uk . It’s piece of history and amount of press and public interest. Fat berg is important because it’s something made by fascinates people as society they created this unseen growing monster that lives in sewers , place that they depend on but never see . It’s also mysterious resides underground. Thank you for giving us chance to read learn new information improve our English as well. Best wishes for you your dearest ones .
Very entand thought-procoking! Thank you. Ibthink giant rats and pigs were probably there especially near the butcher shop. The conditions described seem so conducive to there being these rats and pigs.
