How the gigantic East London fatberg was removed
A fatberg weighing 35 tonnes - the same as three double-decker buses - has been cleared from an east London sewer, Thames Water said.
It took 11 days and 20 people to clear the Abbey Mills mass of waste, made up of un-flushable items such as tampons, wet wipes and condoms.
Thames Water called the fatberg's removal "an incredible feat". 麻豆社 Radio London's Salma El-Wardany has been finding out how it was done.
