Man the police and the fire department they always had the hardest job are you playing for this man to be okay God bless you all 🙏🙏❤️😊😊

1 thing that is not being mentioned are the 20 or so people standing 1-2 FEET from the hole where someone is being dug out. THAT is A lot of weight right on the edge of the hole that is ain't pressure on the dirt IN the hole. I'm an emergency situation, everyone except a small crew of 3-4 need to back up more than 3 feet from what is going on. There is no reason to have 30 faces over a hole when 3-4 are better.

In situations like this, Stu, your analysis is reassuring. Thanks, Stu.

Praying for his rescue to be successful very soon!🙏🏻 Thank you to hard working crew!!!

You cant pull him off his pants, because he’s wearing work boots and they are usually tied all the way to the top, therefore it wouldn’t work.

[ARoyalLyon]

Wonder what the contractor plans to do with all the money he saved by not getting trench plates and shoring?

[DoraBarnum-wfrh]

How many firemen does it take to change a light bulb lol. That's a lot of firefighters

[SDSlackers]

That vacuum truck driver's next assignment -- Drainage cleanout in DTLA. In other words, this was the high point in his year.

Do an extensive story on the USAR, it extremely fascinating and the equipment they carry. I was on a USAR team back east. Awesome work

[o.c.bobbie]

It’s probably his boots that’s holding him down.

[markzemak]

How many times does this happen? Too many. If a trench is deeper than 4ft. YOU NEED SUPPORT IN IT. Too many people have lost their lives because of stupid thinking

[PatriciaMerwin]

Did he get rescued yet?

They are probably dealing with the metal rebar.

[madlyn]

He's not that far down. He'll be ok.

[unclechaz]

Really. 30 rescuers and 25 of them standing around doing nothing. Well spent tax dollars.

[dgatsf]

Does it take 30 men standing around to rescue someone that 2-4 rescuers can do?

[gdavies]

What happened? Why not show completion of this rescue. I need to stop watching your streams.
This is frustrating
