Postie to the rescue
A US pensioner, who had been trapped in a hole for four hours, was luckily rescued by a passing postwoman.
Albert Hughes, 70, from Spokane, in Washington State, fell into a shaft outside his house when he was trying to adjust the water flow to his sprinklers.
When postwoman Janelle Maury came to deliver Hughes’ letters she saw his boots sticking out of the hole.
She said: "His feet were at ground level but that was all I could see. When I was closer I could see he was down there." Maury called the fire brigade who were forced to attach a rope to the elderly man’s feet in order to winch him out of the hole.
