A worker in Bridgewater, Massachusetts, was rescued after being trapped waist-deep in coal for over four hours inside a train car near the Stiles and Hart Brick Company. The incident occurred around 9:20 a.m., and rescue teams used a pulley system and vacuum truck to carefully remove the coal. The worker, whose name has not been released, remained conscious, alert, and in good spirits throughout the ordeal, even joking with rescuers. He was eventually hoisted out around 1:30 p.m. and taken by medical helicopter to a hospital for evaluation. Authorities are still investigating how the worker became trapped.
