An Oklahoma man says he wound up stuck in a storm drain for two days because he was
chasing after a $20 bill.
KSWO reports the unnamed man somehow fit his way into a storm drain trying to get the bill
he dropped in the drain. When he wound up underground, he ended up getting lost in the
city drain system.
ABC adds the man was between 12 to 15 feet underground in the drain — and it was only
42 inches in diameter. A group of high school students ended up calling 911 after hearing
the man's cries for help from deep underground.
Police were able to get the man out of that drain and say he got a bump on his head while
he was underground. They add the city drain system is so confusing, you'd need a map to
get around it.
One police officer who responded to the scene said he had never seen anything like this
in his nearly 30 years of work. Another responder said the man was confused and didn't have
any idea what day it was when he was rescued. (Via The Huffington Post)
And unfortunately, after that long ordeal, the man was never able to find that lost $20
bill.
