A construction worker in Florida has been rescued after spending several hours trapped
in a deep hole.
Firefighters in the Tampa area saved the man who got stuck in a three metre deep hole.
He was working at the time when the hole started collapsing around him, and he became trapped
in the mud and couldn't get out. Officials believe it was a man-made hole.
No, it's not a sinkhole. It's my understanding there was a hole already there that had been
dug by some excavation equipment. He was down at the bottom of that hole, and then sunk
further down into the mud.
After several hours, the worker was pulled to safety and airlifted to hospital where
he was said to be in 'fair' condition.
