In the United Kingdom…
A bra and pair of underwear were to blame for a sewage leak that damaged more than 20 homes and caused excrement to flow down a street.
Northumbrian Water said Monday the underwear had been flushed down a toilet and became snagged on a sewage pipe under a busy road. Water could not pass the bra, which caused the sewer to collapse, and made the road crack open on Friday.
Dirty water and excrement flowed down Middleton Lane, in Middleton St George, near Darlington, and into people’s homes.
The road will be closed for another five days, causing buses to be re-routed, and Northumbrian Water estimates repairs will cost roughly $30,000 US.
