The head of the city’s sewer department apologized for disruptions the pipe's inexplicable action caused, saying road closures had caused major traffic congestion.

But how accurate can it be if they only talked to one random onlooker instead of four?

Ultimately, the CBS article is just a word-for-word re-release of this AP story with additions based on the content of the Japan Times article.

Better to get information from their actual sources than to support increasingly right-wing mouthpieces.

Underground pipe rises out of Osaka sewer construction site

An underground pipe has risen more than 32 feet out of a street in a busy area of Osaka, nearly reaching an elevated road above. The steel pipe raised up overnight, unseen by any witnesses. The steel pipe’s unexpected presence rising from a sewer construction site was reported to police early Wednesday. Osaka's construction department says the pipe has a diameter of more than 11 feet and towered as high as 42 feet at one point. By Thursday it had been lowered back toward the ground after firefighters cut a hole in the metal. Officials say cutting away the remaining pipe will cause a road closure for several more days.

Everything looks so clean in Japan, even the pipe doesn’t have any dirt on it!

It is a well-known custom that passersby collectively clean the pipe if this happens. Society is everyone.
