In this video, we'll discuss The Great LEGO Spill which occurred on February 13, 1997 when the container ship Tokio Express was hit by a massive rouge wave about 20 miles off the coast of Cornwall England. Nearly 5 million LEGO bricks were lost to the dark ocean abyss (4.8 million to be exact). However, these LEGO bricks began washing up on beaches all over the world. Even today, it's still possible to find LEGO bricks on the beach from this ocean disaster!

But that's not all! How about an 8 foot tall LEGO minifigure floating around in the ocean? Yup! Watch this entire video to learn the secrets of this giant minifigure that washed up on beaches across the globe from 2007 to 2014. It's a fascinating story!

It's so fitting that they were all ocean themed sets

[marshallhorton]

A man has fallen in the river in Lego City has a new meaning

No matter where you are... the lego will find you and make you step on it

[adamdestro]

That's cruel. They wanted the sharks to step on Legos.

Very fitting that underwater themed Lego sets and rubber ducks ended up in the water as opposed to other toys

I understand the problem with ocean polution but I really don't think that some turtle can swallow that giant megafigure

[connercraig]

I saw this and immediately thought
“Someone needs to build a giant Lego fish park at the bottom of the ocean”

Its a good thing that Lego is such high quality, wich makes it valuable and less likely to be thrown away, unlike other plastic toys.

[Jesusloveyou]

Wow…
No one told me about this. Very interesting. Nice vid once again👍

[ninjamasterbuilder]

Imagine what if these Lego bricks were not spilled and instead Lego was able to use these pieces for sets and help to keep dozens of underwater themes online and sets

[stitch-bricks]

4 of these containers contained a Lion, Hippo, Zebra and Giraffe from the famous Central Park Zoo

I live in cornwall and it’s rlly cool ive found multiple bricks before. There’s a specific beach that has loads. Also the way he pronounces cornwall…

[TeraV]

[Lumberjack_king]

Imagine scuba diving and finding a whole pile of minifig parts

[FunnyBlockFilms]

That is ironic that beach stuff went in the ocean! 😂

[tinydragongaming]

That one didn't age well.... - the 5 people that died on vacation to see the titanic

[NoNo-hiqc]

Paper bags much easier to rip open then plastic
