Report - Markeaton Interceptor AKA Flo Selecta, Derby, February 2019

Was this the one some blokes got trapped in, and the council or water board was going on about unsafe, and the manholes got locked down? I think they got trapped near the outfall.

Yeah the dickheads went in without torches

Yup the dinghy popped and they had no torches, what mobile phone doesn't have a torch?

Dignhy popped? Very big risk of drowning in there

From a previous conversation on this -

Pics in the article are of the outfall, the last 200 m of which drop off to the full dirty, slutty depth of the Derwent. This dafty didnt get rescued cos he was in a drain. He got rescued cos he never learned the breast stroke. Poor bastard.

Hello @tallginge I very much enjoyed your reports on the bristol drains. @paulpowers @Punk you are both on the money, but I can't find the article.
