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!

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 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.
