Woman suds up to escape from between two buildings

1/17/2013

We doubt anyone in Portland, Ore., woke up this morning thinking she was going to get trapped between a parking garage and a youth center. Alas, that's exactly what happened to one unidentified woman, who apparently slipped into a narrow gap — perhaps only one foot wide — and became stuck. What followed was the sort of rescue operation so complex, so comprehensive, and so successful that it makes you proud to be an American. Firefighters removed windows, drilled through walls, called in her husband, sucked out excess carbon dioxide, and even sprayed her with a soapy liquid to free her. [Source]
