When Authorities Drained This 200 Year Old Canal, What They Found At The Bottom Was Extraordinary

It’s a gray January day in Paris, and a crowd has gathered along the Canal Saint-Martin. As they stare into the murky brown depths below, the waters slowly empty, uncovering secrets that have been kept hidden for many years. And as the bottom of the 200-year-old canal emerges into view, a truly bizarre underside of the city is revealed.
The story of the famous canal began in 1802, when the French leader Napoleon I ordered its construction. At the time, around 550,000 people were living in Paris, and the population was continuing to grow. Napoleon therefore hoped that canals bringing fresh water to the city would help to prevent the spread of disease.
As a result, over the next two decades, three canals were dug across the city, together totaling more than 80 miles in length. Arguably the most famous of the three, the Canal Saint-Martin, connects the 68-mile Canal de l’Ourcq with the long, lazy flow of the River Seine.
Beginning in Bassin de l’Arsenal by the Seine, the canal travels underground beneath Place de la Bastille, the site of a prison that was stormed during the French Revolution. It subsequently emerges close to the Place de la République before heading north to the Bassin de la Villette. There, it joins with the Canal de l’Ourq and the River Ourcq beyond.
In total, the Canal Saint-Martin covers some three miles of central Paris. Originally funded by a levy on wine, it historically brought trade as well as fresh water to the city. In fact, in its heyday the waterway also carried both building supplies and food to the people of Paris.

A supermarket trolley, some chairs and a bike.... Extraordinary..
Thank you for saving me 6 minutes.
Thank you. seemed like the video went on forever before you found out.
Thanks. Save me watching only to realise it was some boring ass lame documentation. The only thing with any interest was the old gold coins. More effort should have been made to include more information as to what these were.
I watched it, just to make sure there wasn't any redeeming qualities in the remainder of the documetery. (There wasn't)
Its just the usual stuff
I never thought an urban canal would have garbage at the bottom. Thanks for educating me.
Bullshit.
Very surprising
I feel the word "anticlimactic" is used far too often, but I don't know how else to explain what I just saw.
Saw this topic on a snap-chat click-bait article, googled the topic instead, was not disappointed with the results. This is nicely informative and surprising.
Way faster than reading through all those pages on snap
Same
"Next Page" *millions of ads as you scroll down* 😒
StarJem101 same lol
So stupid like it’s an interesting topic that I would read about yet the website they link is basically a huge spam farm.
A bunch of bottles and shopping trollies is hardly Extraordinary? I'm guessing thats what you'd find if you drained most canals unfortunately . Now a UFO or wooly mammoth would be extraordinary.
charlieisamonster I think I sleep next to a woolly mammoth she snores like one 😳
Apres la guerre on a trouvé toutes sorte d'armes à feu et de munitions!
Whatever gets your Cheerios off.
SIRIUS-PETRUSSE
oui cela aurait rendu cette vidéo beaucoup plus intéressante (excuses pour mon terrible français)
Mark Dunbar 😂
Bikes. They found bicycles. Took 7 minutes to say that. Ugh.
Androschuk Academy uooooooooooooòpoòò
Yesss, thank you!
Androschuk Academy glad I cane to the comments !! Ty! Glad I only wasted two minutes of my life.
don't forget the found bottles too.
Old help
Thanks for adding a red circle in the thumbnail, I almost didn't see it
The sarcasticness 😂😂👍
😂
YOU ROASTED THEM! 😂😂😂
True only water
*sarcasm
Always gotta fast forward on this guys vids
That was 7 minutes of my life I won't get back.
Didn't think a pace slower than 'snail' existed - until this video!
Mary Wills 😂 I grt U, That Is True👍👍👍👍
get
I'm your like #69
Hahaha SO true
Mary Wills 1.25 speed saved it for me
That's 6 minutes of my life I'll never get back.
But you weren't really doing anything with your life 2 years ago anyway, let's be honest.
Came from Instagram and the many MANY pages that were posting the literal same exact thing
It really is heartbreaking to see. I watch videos of once gorgeous sandy island beaches & now they are garbage pits for no one to enjoy.(unusable) Everyone is capable of picking up their own rubbish. In this case, stop dumping it off in the waterways. _Thank you Facts Box, your vids are always great!_ Hope you're doing well.😘🍀🌻💜
Sunnyand Stormy I
Mopeds? Easy...joyrider teens dumping them.
Now it's a toilet now for the street shiters !!!!!!
Sunnyand Stormy. Emigration. They bring their ways from the old country and don't raise themselves up to a new and higher standard. They have no pride in the country, because it's not theirs. Sad...
You have people who just don’t give a damn. I see it all the time. They throw the trash out of the window’s of their car’s every day. Here in Los Banos, Ca these people dump anything on the roads. TV’s tires, sofa’s, you name it they’ll toss it. Just piss’s me off. Never caught either.
There are way too many canals in Paris. However, this is such a sad situation. Why would anyone want to muck up the waterways of such a beautiful city or anywhere else? This is heartbreaking.
C'est partout pareil!
J. Korbyn my heart feels fine
Wow the history is great so is the channel! Thanks for this and your time of this great video!
Wow what a amazing video thank you so much for uploading this who would ever think there would have been rubbish in there amazing 😉
No it fucking wasint it was a waist of time the took 5 minutes just so they can say one thing that could have been said in 1-2 minutes
Infinitix you are some not of his
I mean bot
@boon wei lol
This is a re-run. I watched this a couple of years ago.
Woody Dickson hard to put any video on here so im glad to see it
Oh great.
Wait: did he say a getto style music blaster.😂😂😂
Oh my gosh! I can't believe they found a dinosaur bone! Woah! ;)
I actually found this video interesting. Loved the info and fun facts
Seen a canal drained in Amsterdam! What a cess pit
Tineke Williams
Tineke Williams prcstate
Well that's 6 minutes of my life I'll never get back
You got the best narrative voice. Love your videos
4:10
Roses are red, violets are blue. I got clickbaited and so did you.
Lol
by the title

Ads 2000 yep
I didn't because I looked in the comments
Guy at 5:29, shoot I can't chuck this bike in there now 😂 😂 😂
Omg 😂
Lmao! 😂
6:05 Still waiting for the extraordinary bit...
Yeah, you're gonna be waiting a looooooong time.
You didnt watch it till the end, they found Jimmy Hoffa and Nessie in there
This video took extremely long just say that trash and bicycles were found. 😂 Extraordinary!
Can you imagine if they ever drained part of the Hudson river by NYC or the East River? Dear God the number of cars and other nonsense at the bottom would be staggering.
Bayan1905 i learned in school hudson the guy named after the river was burried in there
Bayan1905 yeah
The video starts from 3:45 for anyone who wants to see whats there
Wow truly amazing who,d have guessed that lot was In there
They found a lantern that fell in the canal 150 years ago and it was still lit.
"How did such expensive items get in there?" Ummmm people put them in there.....
I wonder how they got all of those bikes and Motorcycles out of there!
Hotspot on
If only there was some sort of contraption designed to lift objects of considerable mass. Perhaps it could be called a "Crane".
Or, and this is probably more likely, they simply lifted them out. A bicycle weighs less than 30lbs. The mopeds pictured are cheap, shitty death-traps designed for 16-17 year olds to ride until they get a car. They only weigh 150-200lbs. Two men could easier carry one.
Bud Jensen You know that cranes are not just those big huge metal structures used for building. They can be trucks with cranes on the back.
Well you see, its very hard trying to identify that on the internet. But ok
You really sat and wondered about that!!
So glad I just went straight to pushing the red line through to well past the halfway mark until I heard the word drainED.
After all there were no gems of information dropped to keep me hanging on every word for fear of missing some great revelation.
I WASTED 6 MINUTES OF MY LIFE TO FIND OUT THERE'S ONLY BICYCLES
I want to know how long they were in there for.
Highjacked.... This info is very old. And I think this guy loves the sound of his own voice.
I like the video
Agreed - reading verbatim (albeit mispronunciations) from a published article. What’s worse is there are multiple channels of this garbage.
Dan Martin lol
Hahahahaha
mark smith yeah i thought they found a prison or something in there, that wouldve been extroardinary.. Maybe.. 😆
So it wasn't 200 yr old then drained..it was drained a few years before this...and what exactly amazed anyone...a bunch of trash? 👎
I know right? At least someone else said something.
They said the whole canal was 200 years old not that it hadn't been cleaned in 200 years...
annalou penick agreed
When you FIRST clicked on this video were u not under the impression that this thing has not been cleaned in 200 years and something cool was found in it when they finally did? Shouldn't the title say "something amazing found in canal that hasn't been drained in over a decade"
Claickbit
It is just like room clean-up. Expect any unwanted things under the bed, under the rug, inside the closet etc and sift if there are something worth to recover and lay negatives to thrash. Thanks for the video.
Humanity just doesn’t care for their home, earth. My heart aches.
Why don’t you end it all??
Maybe the bikes 🚴🚵where stolen and dumped The toilet 🚽 can't get to the BOTTOM of that one 🤔😁
lol
I'm don't get it..
Why do you need emojis to go with the words? Looks stupid.
Vinyl Scratch A bit of FUN 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Vinyl Scratch why do we have emoji's if not to use ?
"200 hundred years old" was emptied 15 years ago,also how are some bicycles two mopeds and a toilet "extraordinary"... this is clickbate and a wast of 6 minutes. also you don't start explaing what was found in the lake until 4:00 the first 4 minutes are useless facts. Should of know this would be a terrible video from the like to dislike ratio
GØ MIŃÌ thanks
If you don't like how FACTS box gives you facts then find another channel and stop downing this one. A VERY SIMPLE THING TO DO.
7'
Hi
GØ MIŃÌ agreed
welp, i just got clickbaited. and damnit is 4am!!!
Wow great 6 minute video to sat there was bikes and toilets so extraordinary
the amount of click bait, and stringing the language along was extraordinary
I thought UA-cam rewind was bad
Omg all these things are so extraordinary
Six minutes of my life I'll never get back......
I was expecting to see a bunch of corpses. Also, what's up with people throwing their bikes into the canals? Is there some kind of bike-throwing festival?
r
Probably stolen bikes. Some of them are obviously pieces of the public Parisian biking system called Velib. You have to pay a monthly or daily fee to use it. These ones was probably never gotten back from the station.
Lol
Nothing surprising here, about 3/4 of the video isn't even about what was found in the canal.
Great Job...Refresh
Mahalo for the video, I can imagine WHAT we may find in the Ala Wai Canal? Here in Waikiki in Honolulu Hawaii
In the Netherlands, every canal is full of bicycles
video starts at 4:02
Probably the most unextraordinary video I’ve ever seen.
Just get to the POINT!!! no one asked about what movies were filmed there or anything else
So they found exactly what they expected to find - garbage. Yeah, that’s really extraordinary.
Mannnn I watched this whole video to find out they found trash😡
Miee nude america
Nooooo dude it is not
A little bit of click bait going on here. Nothing that extraordinary was found. Also, they could have shaved 4 minutes off of the video. There was a lot of BS.
A little? They used the word "Extraordinary" in the title. What in the world was extraordinary about anything they found? I counter with a lot of click bait. :)
"And even weirder we found some change , dead lighters, and cigarette butts...isn't Paris crazy"
Not very interesting and certainly not extraordinary.
Its not everyday you find a car, washing machines, bullets from a war, bicycles, and motor bikes in there.
Wow thats *SOOOOOO* interesting, they found a load of everyday items in bulk. Seriously, a stack of bottles and a car is not extraordinary compared to what you could find if you searched the entire ocean.
This is a canal not a ocean. Also i was just saying its not everyday you find these stuff in there. Not that its interesting.
Noyfb I agree
Noyfb yeah I just thought they would find a dead body or something cause he didn't finish his sentence for the title🤗🤗🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
I really thought they find a city under the canal. :( .,
Myks same!đğ*&ģį +ę#ď
#/ğ&*ķč';ž
Lol.. So cute
Myks anal??
Myks you stupid
Amazing videos
Wow bikes!
What!? No bodies?
They must flost away LOL
Tu es déçu?
no, not even the jewelry of Marie Antoinette
Now that would be extraordinary
Was low-key thinking the same thing
for peer sake tell the story!!
THANK GOD FOR THE COMMENT COMMUNITY!!!! YOU SAVED ME 6 WHOLE MINUTES OF MY LIFE!!
My god I can’t get those 6 minutes of my life back
Nothing unusual found here ! I mean c'mon shopping trolleys,bikes,white goods,stolen motorbikes. Even the car was probably stolen and pushed in so no big surprise. I was hoping for something like a lost work of art or stolen bank heist 😁
Do you even know what "extraordinary" means?
Omg.....get to it already!!!!!
Good to see the fish being saved
Absolutely nothing they found in the canal was "extraordinary".
People are so wasteful, uncaring, and nasty. The true scourge of this planet.
James Dixon . People are not a scourge on this earth, rather, not disposing common days objects is the scourge. I never can understand why people can't seem to donate bicycles, for instance, to Good Will or The Salvation Army. Many who cannot afford such luxuries can buy one cheap.
i know they'll talk on and on about their discoveries and then you find out at the end it was just trash
It’s too bad that at the bottom of the canal they didn’t find a way for me to get the last six minutes and five seconds of my life back!
If the time line can be confirmed the most fascinating and disturbing fact about this canal is that it shows the drop in water level. And we find this happening all across the globe.
I boggles my mind how so many people have such little regards to where they put their trash ! This is not just in one place, it's all over the world ! What is wrong with people ? It takes such little effort to put trash in the containers or whatever there might be and just as little picking up trash you come across laying on the ground. They taught this kind of stuff to us while in school growing up. Maybe they ought to start teaching Environmental Science again as it seems to me the new generation doesn't give a hoot about it. Hey ! Thanks for your video ! Very informative.
Ok Karen it’s only so many places you can put garbage
So calling her a 'Karen' makes you feel better then?
Sad on people using the canal like a dump :(((((
SandMan Jono ž ₩¥€₩£ :(
I sat through this whole video. Who do I see about getting that 6 min of my life back?
Surprised Geraldo didn’t post this.
Common click bait. Not interesting as they want you to believe.
I watched this thinking they found something other than trash who cares

If you thought that, then you never heard of story verse.. Oops I mean fact verse
The only things useful were the 75mm WW1 shells.
Could have helped push back the night.
Wooow I didnt know this! *bruh*
Almost didn't see that muddy water if it wasn't for that red circle, thanks!
Thank you for wasting my time with your click bait title!
But after hours of searching they still couldnt find emanuel macrons spine
I expected some trash but not that much plus...how did a trolley get there? Anyway thx for the facts in the beginning! I always love yur videos!
That's 6 minutes of my life I won't get back
Was Extraordinary?????? WTF!!!!
Bloody hell, what a waste of my time. Still, that's on me for falling (once again) for sensationalist prose straplines.
*sigh*
How do you darken your text?
wow super extraordinary ;-;
I thought they found an alien spaceship in there 😂
Hum I wonder why people would want to get rid of 2 motor bikes couldn't be as simple as they where stolen??
The vehicles depicted weren't motorcycles, they are mopeds.
A moped is a piece of shit intended to be a cheaply-produced cash-cow. 16-17 year olds can ride them prior to getting a car. They last 2 years at best. Chances are those mopeds were stolen, joy-ridden then dumped as they are virtually worthless. Either that or someone realised that riding a moped makes one look like a twat and do discarded them.
I'm an Englishman. My country is plagued by mopeds. They are defined as a different vehicle and are subject to different road traffic laws due to the fact that the vast majority use 50cc and 125cc engines and the riders are usually 16-17 year olds who are riding them because they haven't got a car yet.
Andrew Ince other than not being aloud on the motorway they have exactly the same rules so that's bollocks
That meaning was taken from the English dictionary idiot
Andrew Ince Where I am from they are called scooters.
long story short, they drain it and find rubbish, old bikes, thats not Extra Ordinary to me
Frankenstine
I can’t wait till we are able to see what’s beneath the deepest part of the ocean. I hope I would still be alive to witness that then.
We already have, there was a plastic bag
GOD, YOU ARE TAKING FFFFOREVER TO GET THERE!!!!!!
What was do extraordinary about old bikes & shopping trolleys??? Need the money from views do you?! Time waster
Thecougar6
Its not everyday you find those items and more expensive stuff in there(that might not be expensive anymore).
Thecougar66 totally agree
WHAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!! no skeletons ..... then everything is trash
Wow, the last time this was seen was 2003 was it we'll not see the like of this again.
This should be done to our Pasig River as well.
