- From 35 - 50 cars fall into the canals every year. Their Fire Dept. has a special unit for this type of thing.
- I read there have been 53 deaths in the last few years in the canals and 52 of them were from accidentally falling. (I'm amazed I'm not one of those statistics.)
- Consistently I read the number of bikes pulled out of the canals every year is close to 15,000. Fishing for bicycles is a full time occupation for the city.
