A YOUNG BOY IN GUANGXI PROVINCE, CHINA, fell out of an apartment window and got wedged between two buildings that were constructed just inches apart. He had fallen a few stories and was so tightly trapped between the two walls that it took rescuers five hours to get him out. The eventually cut a hole through the wall of one of the buildings to reach him.
The rescue took place in late September, but the state-controlled CCTV new bureau only released the tapes today.
The AP has a condensed video report:
The boy suffered from cuts to his face and loss of blood, according to Chinese media reports, but is not in critical condition.
