Chinese firemen expand the gap between 2 pillars to free trapped boy


Firefighters freed a seven-year-old boy that got stuck in between two concrete pillars in northern China.

The video, filmed in Datong City in Shanxi Province on May 27, shows a boy in his school uniform trapped in a narrow gap between two concrete pillars.

Firefighters used a hydraulic jack to expand the gap and then tried to wear down the pillars slowly using a hammer and a screwdriver.

Finally, the boy was rescued successfully.
