That stinks! Man seeking dropped phone trapped in rubbish chute
A man looking for a dropped mobile phone ended up in a stinky situation, tumbling into a building's rubbish chute where he had to be rescued.
Washington DC Fire Spokesman Vito Maggiolo says the man was throwing out trash at an apartment building when he thought he dropped the phone in the chute.
Maggiolo says the man leaned in to check and fell inside.
He says the man was able to call 911 from inside the trash chute around 3 am on Sunday, though it wasn't clear what phone he used.
A video posted online shows firefighter rescue crews pumping fresh air down the chute to the man through a hose.
They eventually hauled him out using a harness.
Maggiolo says the man didn't appear hurt and was released at the scene.
