    Indian sewage workers go down without any protective gear. You should make one video for them too.

    I'm pretty sure you could just use a big stuck with a claw on the end and do this without jumping into a literal pool of shit. Why is there no TRASH filter? So much debris and trash...

    Maybe its time to invest in a collection/filtration solution upstream from the pumps?
    I guess risking human divers is cheaper...
