Man, 28, plunges into tiny mountain crevice and gets trapped for four days
ASTONISHING photos show how a man was wedged between mountain rocks in the Cambodian jungle for four days before being rescued.
His worried family began searching when he didn't return after three days, Cambodia's Fresh News reported.About 200 rescue workers carefully freed the trapped man by destroying bits of the rock that had pinned him in an effort that took about 10 hours, police spokesman Sareth Visen said. The rescue was spearheaded by specialists from Rapid Rescue Company 711, which is connected to Prime Minister Hun Sen's elite military bodyguard brigade.
Cambodia is one of the poorest countries in the world, with 35% of its 15.2 million people living in poverty, according to a U.N. Development Program report last year.
