A warehouse worker has survived eight hours buried underneath tons of cheese after a series of 18 feet high shelves fell on top of his forklift truck.
The shelves were holding 20kg of blocks of the Cheddar and Red Leicester cheese when they knocked into each other in a "domino effect".
Tomasz Wisniewski was feared dead after the incident took place at the food distribution centre in Hinstock, Shropshire.
Mr Wisniewski was safely removed from the wreckage and taken to Princess Royal Hospital as a precaution.
Specialist urban search and rescue teams from the West Midlands, Merseyside, and Leicestershire, including sniffer dogs, were involved in trying to pull the Polish worker from the wreckage inside the 60m building.

Sounds like they needed a rescue mouse to eat it’s way into it to give him an air pocket. Swiss cheese has the air pockets built in.

Somewhere, in a corner, is a guy playing a guitar. Badly.

If he had a couple bottles of bold red wine and a baguette, he could have made a treat of it.

They probably could have rescued him sooner, but someone had to cut the cheese.

Thank goodness he was rescued. It sounds like he almost bought the farm chanco . . . . .

My uncle worked at the Jameson’s distillery in Ireland. He fell into a vat and fought off his rescuers three times before he drowned. He was cremated and the fire lasted for six days.

He might have smothered but he wouldn’t have starved to death.
