Cleared storm drain turns into an unexpected water slide
A video from YouTuber Patricia Pink shows a terrifying series of events in which four men and a child are attempting to unclog a large storm drain.
The boy begins to jump on the branches that are clogging the large drain in an attempt to push them through, but once they’re freed, he and one of the men also go along for the ride.
Fortunately, both the child and the man made it through the storm drain, which ran underneath a dirt road. Pink said in a YouTube comment that the two escaped with just a few bruises, according to a Google translation from Portuguese to English.
