Man trapped after part of grain silo collapsed
Published: 02/05/2024
A man trapped underneath a grain silo was freed after a major rescue operation in Queensland’s Central Highlands in Australia earlier this year. Bystanders and emergency services worked frantically with shovels and farming machinery to rescue the man.
A Queensland Ambulance Service spokesperson said the man, 34, had been working underneath the silo when the bottom collapsed and he was trapped by the metal sheet and ‘drowning’ in grain. It follows an incident about a year ago when a Baralaba producer survived falling into a silo, where he was trapped up to his neck in grain. – ABC News
