after Napoleon bonapart authorized the

water to the 550,000 people who live in
1:02
Paris even so he has been well aware

health problems the canal s Martin runs
1:17
for nearly 3 miles through the city at
1:19
the time it also delivered food and
1:21
construction materials to parisians all
1:23
around the city two canals were built
1:25
for much the same motive in the
1:27
following decades the officials were
1:29
were building the canal sandani and the
1:32
canal delor the latter measured 3.4 m in

width and 108 kilomet in length it ran
1:40
from Port OES to the bassand de laet

connecting the Canal San Martin and the

most well-known of the three from the
1:55
bassan de Aral to the plast laas it ran

deep in the ground numerous people are
2:01
familiar with the latter as pivotal

events during the French Revolution
2:06
which took place from 1789 to
2:10
1799 an unanticipated prison attack
2:13
occurred here it has a long and fruitful
2:16
past as you can see for this specific
2:18
purpose people were interested to know
2:20
to see what lay beneath the ground both
2:23
for locals and tourists the canal has
2:26
now become a popular tourist destination
2:29
Young young parisians congregate quite
2:31
often along the banks of the sen and in
2:34
neighboring cafes so why did the
2:37
authorities Begin by draining the water
2:39
the canal has undergone many changes in
2:42
its two centuries of creation every 10
2:44
to 15 years officials try to empty it
2:47
everything that had built up at the
2:49
bottom was going to be cleared out it
2:51
was not that being said a regular
2:54
cleanup so what is it about this period
2:56
of time that was so distinctive Paris
2:59
hides a a slew of important Secrets the
3:02
Deep Waters of this canal obscured some
3:04
of them what lay just below their adored
3:07
Canal samartin caught the interest of
3:10
parisians from afar the draining
3:12
operation was being observed if they
3:15
went what would they find out the canal
3:18
had been drained for the first time in
3:21
2001 they have been able to eliminate
3:24
over 40 tons of waste from the water at
3:26
the time bullets Bombshells as as well
3:30
as gold dimes from World War I were
3:32
among the fascinating finds furthermore
3:35
they discovered a car from the same era
3:38
it's been a long time since that
3:39
happened what else could they come
3:41
across in the water the massive
3:43
challenge of draining the canal got
3:45
underway it would take 3 months to
3:47
remove approximately 3 million cubic
3:51
feet of water even though the city had
3:53
to splurge more than $10 million on it
3:56
it was required what had been concealed
3:58
in the canal for So Long Peak the
4:00
audience's interest on January 7th they
4:03
emptied the Canal's excess water the
4:06
secrets of the Waterway were finally
4:08
revealed after 15 years people from all
4:11
walks of life flocked to the bridges
4:13
they wanted to investigate what the
4:15
officials had found out everyone was
4:17
dying of curiosity it had to be a huge
4:20
occasion and besides it's not very often
4:23
that the canal s Martin is completely
4:25
dry when people saw what was going on
4:28
they couldn't believe their eyes
4:30
the Canal's bottom was strange to see
4:32
they were all interested in learning
4:34
more about what was beneath the Canal's
4:36
surface the workers were given the task
4:38
of emptying the canal to a depth of 50
4:41
cm they waited through the canal looking
4:43
for objects and living things that had
4:46
made themselves at home there the
4:48
working crew caught around five tons of
4:51
carp trout and bream the fish were then
4:54
relocated to more suitable breeding
4:56
grounds they carefully weighed and
4:58
identified the fish before relocating it
5:01
even if the new location wasn't ideal it
5:03
was still preferable to the alternative
5:06
several everyday objects found their way
5:08
into the water's depths bicycles among
5:11
other things were present they were
5:13
later discovered to be part of the
5:14
city's VB car sharing system in 2007 the
5:18
program added about
5:20
14,500 bicycles to the city's streets
5:23
regrettably they were thrust into
5:25
unusual circumstances more items started
5:28
to emerge as the drains process
5:30
progressed at the Canal's bottom there
5:32
were mopeds bicycles and wheelie bins
5:35
there was a toilet down there as well
5:37
because it had undoubtedly contributed
5:39
to the Canal's murkiness it was crucial
5:42
to its recovery it was thought that
5:44
having it there would be amusing this
5:47
was far from the only surprise down
5:49
there at the bottom larger objects were
5:52
discovered it's like some weird
5:54
submarine treasure a witness Mark told
5:57
the guardian I can't believe the number
6:00
of VBS there he continued I'm guessing
6:03
they were stolen and then thrown in it's
6:06
strange bicycles were far from the only
6:08
unusual items to make it to the bottom
6:11
wait until you hear that they also
6:13
managed to recover a pair of motorcycles
6:16
from down there if you thought bicycles
6:17
were shocking who knows how those
6:20
objects ended up there we're hoping for
6:23
a witness to come forward and tell us
6:25
what actually occurred from there things
6:27
have only gotten weirder and weirder
6:30
of course they didn't find only alive
6:32
creatures as well as bizarre objects
6:34
down there it was anticipated that some
6:37
items would be found shopping bags
6:40
traffic cones and glass bottles are all
6:42
examples these findings seem to Peak no
6:45
one's interest everyone was ecstatic to
6:48
discuss the unusual items to start with
6:51
none of them knew how an office chair
6:53
had come to be there as they continued
6:56
to drain the water another interesting
6:58
item emerged from from beneath the
7:00
murkiness at the Canal's bottom they
7:03
discovered a revolting
7:04
suitcase is it there because it was
7:07
tossed there on the canal s Martin floor
7:10
there is also a shopping cart as a
7:13
result people's attention in the story
7:16
was peaked after loading their bags did
7:19
a shopper accidentally push their car
7:21
into the canal in any case we can State
7:25
unequivocally that Paris is an excellent
7:27
shopping destination workers continued
7:30
to drain the water from the canal s
7:32
Martin until there were only 20 in left
7:36
they needed to get the fish to safety
7:38
first and foremost for 3 Days In The
7:41
Water the cleanup crew fished for carp
7:43
trout and bream the creatures were
7:46
apprehended and relocated to a different
7:48
section of the river even after how
7:50
saddening it was to see so much waste in
7:53
the canal there is reason to be hopeful
7:56
the findings shed light on the city's
7:58
littering problem
8:00
authorities took advantage of the
8:01
opportunity to discuss the situation if
8:05
everyone mucks in and avoids throwing
8:07
anything into the water Celia blow told
8:10
mail online we might be able to swim in
8:12
the canal in a few years nobody would
8:15
have discovered how serious the
8:17
situation was if the Waterway would not
8:20
have been drained in fact the Canal area
8:23
is considered Prime real estate the
8:26
parisians paid a high price for it only
8:28
real estate State near the irandi small
8:31
commands prices of up to
8:33
$99,000 per square foot they had no idea
8:36
these things were so close to their
8:38
homes were sure the Waterway has often
8:40
appeared Lush and attractive which
8:43
contributes to the property's high value
8:45
several artists have cited it as a
8:47
source of inspiration the bank's walls
8:49
are covered in street art and the
8:51
organization has a large multimedia
8:53
space dedicated to Art if you've ever
8:56
visited Paris you're probably aware of
8:59
the vibrant nightlife scene in the canal
9:01
s Martin area the neighborhood which was
9:04
once quiet would now attract a lot of
9:07
young people many people would assume
9:09
that this would immediately add to the
9:11
amount of waste in the canal they
9:13
discovered if this was the case in
9:15
2016 in 1702 Napoleon the ordered the
9:19
construction of the Canal San Martin to
9:22
provide fresh water to Paris aiming to
9:24
improve the health of its growing
9:26
population of around 550,000 the Canal
9:29
begins at the bazan de araral on the sen
9:32
near the former bastile prison which was
9:34
burned down during the French Revolution
9:36
it then winds through PL deu before
9:39
reaching the Bassin de la vet in the
9:41
north where it connects to the canal de
9:43
L stretching 3 miles the canal s Martin
9:47
runs through paris's 10th Aron D small a
9:49
lively area known for its nightlife and
9:52
attractions every 10 to 15 years the
9:55
canal is drained and cleaned revealing
9:57
an astonishing assortment of discarded
10:00
items these cleanings draw large crowds
10:03
eager to witness the unusual objects
10:05
uncovered from the Canal's murky depths
10:08
during one such cleaning workers found
10:10
an array of objects including chairs
10:13
shopping carts suitcases trash cans
10:16
bicycles and
10:18
motorcycles surprisingly a vintage
10:21
stereo and hundreds of thousands of
10:23
bottles and cans were also
10:25
retrieved these discoveries not only
10:28
highlight the amount of waste
10:29
accumulated but also rais questions
10:31
about how such items ended up at the
10:34
bottom of the canal some finds are
10:36
particularly intriguing such as a
10:38
vintage camera discovered despite
10:40
regular cleanings sentimental objects
10:43
like a stuffed animal in pristine
10:45
condition contrast sharply with the
10:47
grimy moss covered items around it
10:50
sparking curiosity about the stories
10:52
behind these items the image of a muddy
10:55
chair or a rusted motorcycle often
10:57
leaves onlookers Imagining the Circ
10:59
circumstances that led to their disposal
11:02
the Canal's periodic cleanings offer a
11:04
fascinating glimpse into Parisian
11:06
history and life making it a spectacle
11:08
that continues to Intrigue both locals
11:11
and visitors as the water is slowly
11:13
drained into the S workers must spend
11:15
hours ensuring that everything goes
11:17
according to plan there's a lot to do
11:20
from relocating fish entangled in the
11:22
canal to completely renovating the
11:24
Canal's four double locks the entire
11:27
procedure would take about 3 months from
11:29
start to finish because it's such a
11:31
massive task it should be expected that
11:33
a large number of people will be
11:35
involved in its completion hundreds if
11:37
not thousands of workers are tasked with
11:40
ensuring that everything is done
11:41
effectively and accurately as shown in
11:44
the photo considering what we're seeing
11:46
in the Parisian Canal every decade or so
11:49
it's reasonable to assume that other
11:51
countries clean out their water sources
11:53
and drains on a regular basis many
11:56
strange things have been discovered in
11:58
drains and pipes in the United Kingdom
12:01
in fact there are a few things you
12:03
wouldn't expect to find in such a place
12:05
in fact the sewers hold more Fortune
12:07
than we
12:08
realize in 2012 Aaron large an English
12:12
drain technician discovered four luxury
12:14
watches in the drains they weren't your
12:17
average time pieces a few days later he
12:21
discovered an 18 karat gold Rolex Oyster
12:23
Perpetual cosmograph worth 21,000 lb as
12:27
well as another Rolex and and two more
12:29
valuable items one of the watches was
12:32
eventually traced to its rightful owner
12:34
but the other three were discovered to
12:36
be fakes despite this Aaron's employer
12:39
rewarded him for his efforts with a
12:42
bonus understandably some items
12:45
discovered in sewers cannot be
12:46
identified no matter how much time is
12:49
spent examining and studying them in the
12:52
case of the mysterious Jawbone
12:54
discovered in a Canadian sewer in 2009
12:57
this was the case the bone could have
12:59
come from any number of herbivorous
13:01
creatures bone discoveries in Canada
13:04
aren't as surprising because the country
13:06
has a higher than average distribution
13:08
of dinosaur skeletons finding a bone in
13:11
a tunnel that has been completed on the
13:13
other hand is unusual
