a tightly congealed mass of fat, wet wipes, diapers, and condoms—is blocking a section of London’s Victorian-era sewage network. It could take weeks for utility crews to remove the horrific mass, which, if not removed, could cause raw sewage to spill onto London’s streets.

The disgusting blob, with an estimated weight of 143 tonnes (130 metric tons), is produced by the steady accumulation of things that shouldn’t be flushed down London’s toilets.

the fatberg is nearly rock solid.
“This fatberg is up there with the biggest we’ve ever seen. It’s a total monster and taking a lot of manpower and machinery to remove as it’s set hard,” said Rimmer in a statement. “It’s basically like trying to break up concrete. It’s frustrating as these situations are totally avoidable and caused by fat, oil and grease being washed down sinks and wipes flushed down the loo.”

The mass is currently blocking a stretch of Victorian sewer that’s 820 feet (250 meters) long, longer than the length of two football fields, which, wow. The sewer itself is just 47 inches high and about 28 inches wide

So-called "flushable" wipes do a lot of damage to wastewater systems everywhere.

Baby Wipes are the devil.
Plumber dug about 3 boxes out of our system and charged me out the arse to do it, they had clogged our system.

As a speed reader, this read as "Plumber dug out my arse and clogged my system".

Sounds like the perfect opportunity for Mike Rowe!
Biggest dirty job of all time.
