I can't believe this man survived -- it defies belief. He had a freak fall into an 8-inch wide rock crevice some 40 feet deep. Yet somebody heard him calling out for help. And rescue crews managed to get him out alive. Incredible.

Now there's a personal nightmare.
How on Earth do you keep breathing when your body is jammed into an 8-inch crevice?
He is very very lucky!

tx for the story!

I don't think my leg would fit into an 8" crevice. That's an amazing story of survival. Kudos to the rescue team who worked so hard to get him out.
