Thalang – Two men fell into a well before two other men who were trying to help them fell into the well also in Cherng Talay, Phuket.


Emergency responders were notified from local residents that four men fell into a well in Soi Pasak on Thursday (May 25th). They and the Phuket Express arrived at the scene to find the four men inside the deep well. They were all still conscious and fairly calm.

 

Rescue workers dropped down a rope into the well. They tied each other with the rope before rescue workers pulled them up one by one.

This scenario often doesn't end 'well'. They're lucky there was enough air down there or they would be pulling up 4 bodies plus any other rescuers who followed who didn't take their own air with them.

 

I read a story of about 5 dead once after a child fell into a well (was in Cambodia I think), all the people who attempted rescue died as well.

Local residents told The Phuket Express that the first man was looking into the well before he accidentally fell in. This then caused a chain reaction of various others falling in after they attempted to help as well.

 

Lemmings. You just couldn't make it, could you.
