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.

It gives new meaning to the phrase “smothered in cheese”
His co-workers thought he was Goudas dead.

Couldn't eat his way out?That would be putting the cheese before the maze.

Hey wait a second. If this happened in Britain why are they referring to the victim as a Polish worker?

That would be putting the cheese before the maze. I see, lack of motivation.

Fortunately, they had a consultant on site who knew everything there is to know about the problem at hand. He was a cheese whiz.

There are more holes in this story than Swiss cheese.

Because he probably is a Polish migrant worker.
Tens of thousands arrived when Poland joined the EU.
F’ing hard workers too.

Was there a moose involved?
He should be grateful it wasn’t Limburger.

George: Yeah! Look at me! I was free and clear! I was living the dream! I was stripped to the waist, eating a block of cheese the size of a car battery!
Jerry: Before we go any further, I'd just like to point out how disturbing it is that you equate eating a block of cheese with some sort of bachelor paradise.
