- 4 years ago
A fireman in eastern China hung upside-down to rescue a three-year-old boy trapped in a six-metre-deep well.
The video, shot in the city of Linyi in Shandong Province on April 18, shows firefighters tied breathing apparatus to a rope and sent it down into the well to ensure the boy had enough oxygen.
A fireman attached to the safety ropes was then lowered into the 0.4-metre-wide and six-metre-deep well. After he grabbed the boy, other firefighters lifted them up together.
After the boy was rescued, he was sent to hospital. He is not in life-threatening condition now.
