2013 has been a year full of drama and disaster, and has also been a year marked by a remarkable
amount of people getting stuck in things. Yes, you heard right. Throughout the year,
we've been inundated with footage of people in China getting trapped in bizarre scenarios.
We've had wells.
Take this two-year-old boy in the country's Henan Province for instance. He accidentally
fell into a deserted well and found himself stuck ten metres below the ground.
Music boxes...
This seven-year-old has clearly bitten off more than she can chew after getting her lip
stuck in the mechanics of a music box, and it sounds pretty painful.
Washing machines...
It took a full fire crew to rescue this three-year-old girl from a washing machine in east China's
Shandong Province. According to her mother, she plays in the washing machine all the time,
but when the toddler got trapped in it from the waist down, her mother had no choice but
to call the emergency services.
And walls...
The emergency services rushed to scene after receiving a phone call. They found the gap
between the wall was as little as 15 centimetres wide.
Lots of walls...
He got himself stuck in a 25 centimetre wide gap between the walls of two warehouses. The
16-year-old told rescuers he'd dropped his PlayStation Portable and fell into the gap
trying to pick it up.
The women got stuck after she took a shortcut through a narrow gap between two walls to
get home and was only spotted by passersby the next morning.
It's happened again. Yeah, we're not even joking either. Yeah, a man in northeast China
has been rescued after getting stuck again between two walls.
Firefighters were called to the office where the man works after his upper body got stuck
between the curtain wall and the solid wall.
So as we start writing our list of New Year's Resolutions for 2014, we're all crossing our
fingers that Chinese kids promise not to get stuck in anymore strange places.
