Massive Sewer Pipe Found Jutting Out of Highway in Osaka

A roughly 4-meter-wide metal pipe that had been buried underground was found protruding from the road at a sewer construction site on a national highway in Kita Ward, Osaka, on Wednesday morning.
According to police, the pipe rose to over ten meters above ground level, but firefighters are working to fix the problem and the pipe has begun to descend.
