Firefighter hangs upside-down to rescue toddler trapped down deep well in China


A firefighter hung upside-down to rescue a three-year-old boy trapped in a deep well in eastern China.

The video, filmed in Weifang City in Shandong Province on June 2, shows a skinny fireman tied by a rope being lowered upside-down into a ten-metre-deep and 30-centimetre-diameter well.

After the fireman caught the boy’s arm, other firefighters pulled the rope up slowly to bring them back to safety.

After 10 minutes, the boy was saved successfully and passed on to paramedics to check his condition.

The boy was unharmed as the rescue operation was completed in quick fashion.
