- 7 years ago
Footage of firefighters rescuing a 72-year-old Chinese man who was reportedly trapped in a deep hole for five days.
The video, filmed in Wenshan Zhuang and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province in October, shows the elderly man curled up at the bottom of the hole, looking quite frail, before the rescuers winch him out.
The man apparently fell in when he was "collecting sticks".
He was taken to hospital and although he was weak he is expected to recover fully.
