Grateful Chan Lai has hailed firefighters muddy miracle workers after they pulled him alive from a 30ft deep pit of sludge in southern China.Farmer Chan, 62, accidentally slipped into the mud it as he was leaving his fields in Neijing, Sichuan province, and sank in up to his mouth.And when villagers tried to pull him free he only slipped further under the surface.
"I was getting deeper and deeper. It was like quicksand sucking me down," said Chan after the rescue.
Firefighters first tried pumping out the mud but had to dig Chan out by hand when the thick, clay-like earth choked their hoses.
"I was in there for four or five hours and sometimes my head was completely under the mud.
"I was already buried and I thought pretty soon I'd be dead," said Chan.
I'm very lucky to still be around," he added. (FOTO: DUKAS/CEN)
