The Truth Behind Malphrus Construction and Cameron Village Sewer

There's a video floating around that was created by a construction company known as Malphrus Construction. They had been doing some work on pipes, and found these things alive.

Note, this video is not for the faint of heart.


As you can see, it's a very weird sighting. People have tried to call it viral marketing or a fake, but I wanted to highlight the knowledge one person put into explaining it.

Jezuzac from YouTube commented on the post saying the following.

They are clumpsof annelid worms, almost certainly tubificids. Normally these occur in soil and sediment, especially at the bottom and edges of polluted streams. In the photo they have apparently entered a pipeline somehow, and in the absence of soil they are coiling around each other. The contractions you see are the result of a single worm contracting and then stimulating all the others to do the same almost simultaneously, so it looks like a single big muscle contracting. Interesting video.

If this is true, it explains the occurrence very well. I, as much as everyone else who watched the video, would love to know what it is exactly, and at least we have some idea!
