How the gigantic East London fatberg was removed
Available for over a year
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". Âé¶¹Éç Radio London's Salma El-Wardany has been finding out how it was done. (Image credit: Thames Water)
