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
A man has fallen in the river in Lego City has a new meaning
a man has fallen into a odeon in Lego City!
A Lego set has fallen into the river in the lego ocean
No matter where you are... the lego will find you and make you step on it
I have more subs than you I have 5 you have one less
@@defnotniko oki
You have been marked… to be stepping on Lego… ooooooooh! OOOOOOHHH!!!
Brilliant reply😂
Very fitting that underwater themed Lego sets and rubber ducks ended up in the water as opposed to other toys
That's cruel. They wanted the sharks to step on Legos.
I now have a shark foot fettish. Thanks asshole 💀
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
Wow imagine
@@studclone yeah but that is wishful thinking
This wouldn’t have effected anything, also is the Environment not a bigger concern?
@@pagmonreal yes the environment is more important but I was just thinking about what ifs
@@pagmonreal To Lego it aint, otherwise they would have stopped making plastic toys a long time ago.
I understand the problem with ocean polution but I really don't think that some turtle can swallow that giant megafigure
We need a giant megaturtle to catch a giant megafigure
@@alittleofeverythingandoj as a person who loves turtles I would love this a mega turtle would be sick
@@iPhone3GS_68a giant megaturtle probably would be sick after eating a Lego Megafigure
@@BlueToadFan913 I meant a mega turtle would be awesome
@@iPhone3GS_68 I know, it was a joke. A giant turtle would genuinely be epic as long as it didn’t eat people or something. 🐢
That brick link order is fire 🔥
I saw this and immediately thought
“Someone needs to build a giant Lego fish park at the bottom of the ocean”
one punch in the wall and that thing will be gone
Yeah
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.
Yeah and the fact that people pass them down to their kids
Wow…
No one told me about this. Very interesting. Nice vid once again👍
4 of these containers contained a Lion, Hippo, Zebra and Giraffe from the famous Central Park Zoo
I understood that reference.
and somehow they ended up in madagascar
Now time to go watch the Tom Scott video about this same phenomenon
That is ironic that beach stuff went in the ocean! 😂
So there is my Atlantis set
I love your videos
Imagine scuba diving and finding a whole pile of minifig parts
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…
Paper bags much easier to rip open then plastic
So many cutlasses (90k) that were lost.
That one didn't age well.... - the 5 people that died on vacation to see the titanic
I've dreamed of that one day
INTO THE OCEAN?! OH HECK NAH
The lego Sea creatures git freeded
Spit:that spill caused more pollution
Me: that spill caused more joy for the fished that found the lego bricks :)
Great Lego history spitbrix 🤔🤩👍
7:00 A man Has fallen into The river in Lego city!
Wow I've herd of this but never would knew that the exact numbers are know
What belongs to the sea must return to the sea.
“ A man has fallen into the river in Lego city!”
Hey!
Me when I see the EGO in the river:
A MAN HAS FALLEN INTO THE RIVER IN LEGO CITY
Start the new rescue helicopter
*HEYEYYEHEY*
Oh that's where my bricks went
I own a Lego black octopus that was last at sea. Someone found it and sold it and I got it so ye
5 million lego pieces sounds like a lot but it’s not as much as you might envision.
6:57 A man has fallen into the river in Lego City! Start the new rescue helicopter! Hey! Build the helicopter and off to the rescue. Prepare the lifeline, lower the stretcher, and make the rescue. The new Emergency Collection from Lego City!
HEY!
rest in peice like 500,000 of lego
Swimming between LEGO bricks. Sounds like a wet dream.
Now this is a Lego movie I might watch.
6:58 A man has fallen into the river in LEGO City!
Stepping on a Lego is painful enough but *on a beach*
*aw hell naw*
The reason for them travelling so far is the ocean currents, they go down, past the upper portion of africa then across the atlantic up the US coast and back towards uk, some found in cornwall have most likely crossed the Atlantic
That is ironic and poetic in a way XD
Bro what are the chances the same video by Tom Scott was recommended to me directly under this one
Paking My stuff and going to that beach
That is bananas that those LEGO bricks were found for so many years after and so far away. 🤯
Oh jeeeeeeez Lego brickssss
Hello there!
FREE LEGO!!!! LETS GOOOOOOOO. dont have to buy a $50 set with one minifiger and 100 pieces.
Lego sets get to where they are supposed to be
HAHA yeah
I want to clean the beach but I’ll be keeping every Lego I find.
I just finished reading "Adrift: The Curious Tale of the Lego Lost at Sea" by Tracey Williams, who frequently visited the beaches of Cornwall and has been collecting Lego and Lego stories for many years. She also set up the Facebook page mentioned in the video.
Really eye-opening read that uses the Lego spill as a way to dig deep into the problem of plastics in our oceans.
I actually found a Lego shark with no head unfortunately and a a spear gun at Panama City beach in 2021 and I still have them till this day in my display case with the title legos from the sea
Both of those pieces were in the Lego spill. Because the shark was shipped as separate pieces, all of the ones found are like yours. Sounds like you might have found some long-travelled vintage pieces!
Oh i think i have heard of this before. Its really crazy of how it happened
*meanwhile, on the jurassic coast...* wow! ive just found a complete, intact, fossil t-rex skeleton, i'm rich! not as rich as me, i just found the limited edition, lego centennial, bi-annual, bionicle, u.s-only, sunk-at-sea, starwars, t-rex, luke skywalker, architectural set, mini-figure! WOW! holy hell, whuut? hot damn! d'you wanna swap? 😂
You can also find some in irland but there harder to find
I wondered if I'd find any on a trip to Cornwall about 18 months back.. My wife looked down as we explored the beach at Tintagel and a single red 2x4 brick washed ashore... Oddly, not seemingly one of the ones from this spill. So in an area where thousands of sea themed Lego bricks wash ashore, we managed to find the one that wasn't sea themed! We removed it and took it home.
Nah some of these are just someone’s lost lego 😂
Ego Leonard is quite literally “a man has fallen into the river in Lego City”
Perfect they can travel to Beaches in Australia and probably all over the world so this is fun
I guess these lego fish got away
Me: sees this video
Also me: _watermode activated_
That’s me trying to make a Lego boat with pieces on the back
Ego L.
*WHAT COULD IT MEAN!?*
Wow Dang
This black dragon had missing head top, arms, and a tail. I think those lego were replacement pieces in the boxes when those container were smashed and opened to fall.
DUCKS!
I dont think this is from that but when I was a kid (early 2000s) I found a yellow 2x2 brick at the beach while digging in the sand. It was all weathered and like smoother than usual. I still have it somewhere in one of my bins
Wow great video thank you 😁🤢
so thats how it gotten lost huh.. what would happen if it again dose it?
Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺😧😧😧
I am going to Melbourne straight away 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🧱🧱
My dad bought a fish Lego set and he never got it so that is why
Well damn more macroplastics in the ocean I guess

A pity Keer's grasp of English wasn't better, it would have made more sense for Ego's "shirt" to say "no MORE real than you are"
Now I do not want to bring legos in water.I like ducky’s
