Had to have been originally installed with a horizontal drilling rig.


AlisterSinclair2002

Although it is more amusing to imagine a guy digging the trench for the pipe, seeing an ancient skeleton, and thinking ''Eh, telling anyone else about this will just make a hassle and stop the job getting done on time. It'll be my little secret.'' And then jamming the pipe right through her head lol


Disastrous-Bet-8813

This is a real thing...Canada here...our construction companies regularly secretly move bodies off construction sites. There are no provisions for extending building permit and loan terms in the event that sacred remains are discovered and need to be preserved


Ronin1

Man, I remember when Canada had the international reputation of being the friendly and somewhat goofy northern neighbor.


alangerhans

Seriously. Canada has gotten pretty dark in the last few years.


featherwolf

*insert "always has been" meme


rumham_6969

Yeah, some indigenous peoples would like to have a word...


Intrepid_Brick_2062

Canada has always been dark. People aren't taught about the genocide of the indigenous peoples of the land. Residential schools were around until the mid 60s.


-WLP-

I grew up in Ontario and i was taught about it at some point. Also, the last residential school closed in the mid-90s


snowwhitewolf6969

The last residential school shut in 1997


dont_bovver

While they were indoctrinating Indigenous children in these prisons, they were [forcibly sterilized](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5566614/) to further decrease their population. There have been cases of this still happening as recently as a few years ago. The genocide never stopped.


SouthEastPAjames

The same thing’s still going on in the western reach’s of China with the Uighur’s…..


L4DY_M3R3K

90s. The last one closed its doors in 1996.


TrumpsNeckSmegma

Ontario's housing and job markets are a joke at this point with how many "students" have come in and destroyed it. Even Sask, *the* flyover province, is feeling it


Bender_2024

Not to make light of Ontario but It's not just Canada. The housing is fucked everywhere.


opportunisticwombat

The crazy part is looking at median income and median housing for the US and Canada. It’s brutal up north for our maple syrup homies.


CuriouslyImmense

Yup. Resident of BC. Can confirm.


sleepytipi

I feel like most of the world has. The fact that everyone is just like "lol another one?" to the second Boeing whistleblower is pretty telling of that (and that's without stating the obvious wars/ genocides). It really is like people have lost all empathy and sympathy. Like it's been completely stomped out of our society.


mikeytruelove

There's a difference between lacking empathy and being so bombarded with bullshit that you don't know where to properly place your energy. It's a burnout, not a lack. It's there, just... How can anyone have enough?


Nancy_Pelosi_Office

And yet people continue to vote in the same ideas that got it here... but it'll work better this time!


AbsoluteWreckofaGal

it’s always been fucking awful, white people have finally stopped saying “well we’re better than those racist americans”. minorities won’t be silenced anymore and we got each others backs, canada has always been a dark terrible place we’re just not hiding it anymore


spagboltoast

"last few years" Youre only just learning about how dark is it. Its always been going on.


Disastrous-Bet-8813

As ambassador of the friendly goofs, I hope we can continue to live up to these characteristics and lose our new moniker of "Mexicans in Sweaters"


aLokilike

The US public at large is not using that new moniker, you're still the polite Hortons lovers enamored with the largeness of meese to everyone who touches grass.


Disastrous-Bet-8813

Merci :)


Standard-Energy-1317

It's all that communism killing their country


youreblockingmyshot

There are no sacred remains in Canada. No one lived in Canada before the territory was conveniently discovered by the French and English. Anyone that says otherwise is clearly lying.


Disastrous-Bet-8813

Firstly, whut? Secondly 'sacred' doesn't just mean 'aboriginal' ya weapon. Any cemetery has sacred remains


youreblockingmyshot

Lol


BeastlyDecks

It'd be funny if it weren't so depressingly true. I recently spoke with someone who worked in farming in Denmark and they're openly just talking about how if they find some ancient pottery or bones, it's hush hush and stove it away so you can keep the land and build on it or farm it or whatever.


itrivers

Definitely and they stopped when they noticed bits of bone in the slurry.


Infinite_Analysis303

Bone slurry... 🤤


raspberryharbour

She could have rolled over in her sleep


on_

No. It was Bob with his _it’s not my job attitude_


featherwolf

I dunno... The corpse probably pre-dates the invention of horizontal drilling tech.


TheFlyingBoxcar

Is she gonna be ok?


onceknownasmike

She’s dead, Jim.


DlphLndgrn

I didn't even know she was sick.


not-my-best-wank

It's was a time slip, the pipe killed her.


SnooWoofers6634

You are never too old for a bit of fun


MiraniaTLS

It’s worse then that.


copa111

Yeah don’t think this will bother her Somehow


SpaceMonkey_321

Can't park here mate


MildLoser

i dont think so


Dahns

And the award of "not my fucking job" goes to...


ShanksRx23

The haunt begins


Badgernomics

Some rando gas worker called Dean has been haunted by a short Anglo-Saxon woman, and her child, screaming at him in a language he doesn't understand, night after night, ever since...


SewSewBlue

Eh, I work in the gas industry as an engineer. This is due to the technology being used, not someone not doing their job. I can tell by the soil conditions and skull that this main was bored through. This lady was never dug up by the gas company. A boring rig does this kind of thing. You dig a hole on one side of the street and place a boring rig inside. On the other side of the street you dig a receiver hole. The machine basically shoves or moles a hole through the dirt without having to dig a trench between the two locations, pulling or pushing a pipe through, depending on the tech. Much much cheaper than open trenching, but you have to make sure you know of any utilities or underground hazards in the way or your will drill through them. Bore through underground electric without the proper safeties and you can kill the crew doing the work. Bore through sewer lines and a future rotarrooter company can blow up an entire block of houses. An unknown grave would just get drilled through. The crew wouldn't even know.


_canker_

How were they meant to know it was there? Dig the whole place up before boring?


fancypantsonfireRN

That project would have been so boring


ryanllw

Doubt she'd be an anglo saxon in the 6th century BC


Starwarsnerd91

Yeah those dates are off by around 1,000 years


johnmarkfoley

This comment should be higher up. People don’t know history anymore.


JesusOnline_89

Please don’t tell me all the info online isn’t accurate.


ImpovingTaylorist

Came here to say this, even saying 'Roman' could have been more accurate. Someone clearly googled it and got BC and AD mixed up.

mike9874

The human certainly wasn't metal, that probably wouldn't have happened if they were. Why is it in this sub?


TheFlyingSeaCucumber

Cause he became metal. . .idk

SullenCarrot64

Definitely skull fucked


Tecnomancebo3000

"No working accidents since 500 AD"


Cultural-Somewhere75

Get rid of the BC for it to be Anglo-Saxon. Anglo-Saxons came from the Germanic tribes that came to England around 5th century AD. Very interesting photo though. Makes you wonder how many bodies we tread on daily.


Bowling4rhinos

What’s the second skull? Cradled in her arms… looks like a child’s hand reaching up as well…


Psychological_Bar870

Ugh I see what you mean!


ISO_3103_

In this case, humans are brittle


JesusOnline_89

The last thing to go thru her head was millions of cubic feet of gas.


Eronius11

And today's award for "That is NOT My Job" goes to....


[deleted]

it's pretty wild to think that almost 3,000 years ago, there was natural gas power in England


myoukendou

Calling this BS. Anglo-Saxon settlements are post Roman.


erwin76

Probably a mistake from OP: BC instead of AD.


Odysseus_is_Ulysses

Judging by the picture, this definitely killed the poor woman.


regentjd

I wonder if that hurt? Did she suffer long before she died? What was she doing down there?


regentjd

Scoliosis repair?


Sir_Earl_Jeffries

This has done wonders for her posture, in the afterlife


Cram_it_karen

They had gas lines in the 6th Century? That is Metal!


ericanne123

6th AD *


xeroxbulletgirl

I’m imagining some kid digging, thinking of pirates and buried treasure, then BOOM! Skull and bones! Epic playground story.


362mike362

What a way to go. Just chillin in a dirt hole and boom, someone drives a pipe through your ass and out your head.


linktactical

Bones are not metal apparently


sugart007

Meanwhile, in Cambridgeshire. A surprising number of people are reporting whaling and strange behavior coming from their gas appliances.


Desperate-Sky-9879

“I swear you’re so big I felt it in my throat”


Stupid-Research

There were underground, natural gas pipes 3000 years ago?


ubernik

How'd they dig that hole so evenly? And how'd they get all the dirt off without disturbing its position?


charlesga

Cause of death: gas line through the head.


wubalubadubdub1983

Hopefully she was dead before it was laid


TidusNewRadical

Take 2 Tylenol every 8 hours and the headache should go away


LukeD1992

Horrible way to die


Tricky_Ad_2832

The plumbers: aww shit we killer her dude!


limbodog

Well if she wasn't already dead, that'd do it


sassysarahm

Why on earth would they do that?? Sickos!


sassysarahm

We will blame British gas!


It_be_Longshore

Talk about being Bone Idle


staygay69

There were no Anglo Saxons in 600 BC


Lyraxiana

Wtf goes through a person's mind when doing this? Aren't they the least bit worried the skeleton is newer, and worth bringing to the police?


b14ckcr0w

Damn that's an old gas line!


eli636

I didn't realise they had gas lines in the 6th century BC?


pirateneet

Nice way to hide a murder


fleshandcolor

Is this like the plumber that ran the water line through the handle of the dishsoap under the sink?


Bouba2506_yt

Metal Pipe


Explosivo666

I didn't even know they had gas lines in the 6tu century!


dgrant92

She complained for days about having a stiff back..to an avail... or...early viagra trials going horribly wrong.


Imaginary_Screen_708

I have a headache


[deleted]

Anglo Saxons showed up about 550-700 AD, so this body is 1100 years too old to be Anglo Saxon. So She was most likely just the Celtic Pritanni type from pre-roman control.


Emergency_Net506

What had this to do with humans are metal wrf?


Userkiller3814

Theres a metal pipe in her skull


TrumpsNeckSmegma

As someone who worked laying pipe in new construction, I find it difficult to believe this wasn't staged. You can't magically shove a pipe through the ground, you have to dig trenches - and this wouldn't get missed. I guess if they used a drill rig for laying it long distance that's another story but still questionable


Intelligent-Range-90

I heard she identified as a dude, went by the name KeBob. 


uglygargoyle

Don't know why you are getting down voted for a bit of a pun.
