[webfact]

 

Satja Phutta Dham Thailand Rescue Team, in the central province of Prachin Buri, saved the life of a 73 year old Thai man who fell into a 3-metre deep water tank and was stuck there for over two hours.

 

The incident happened yesterday, September 24, at Khao Luk Chang Temple in the Kabin Buri district of Prachin Buri province.

 

The victim, 73 year old Nirun, was repairing the leaking tank but accidentally fell in while cleaning it and called for help.

A monk, who was passing by the tank, heard a cry for help but could not locate the source of the cry. He shouted out to Nirun and discovered that he was stuck in the water tank, so the monk called a rescue team for help.
