Race To Rescue Workman Buried Up To Neck In Gravel

This footage shows rescuers racing against time to save a workman buried up to his neck in sand and rocks after falling into a pit of gravel at a depot where he works.

The unnamed worker from the town of Jichuan, which is in Nanchong City in south-western China’s Sichuan Province, is believed to have been working on the edge of the gravel pit when a rockslide sent him tumbling in.

Video of the rescue on 15th November shows the lone worker having been buried up to his chest in sand and rocks while surrounded by gravel in the middle of the pit, which forms part of a large metal funnel.
