United States (Minnesota) - Emergency crews from across the metro spent almost nine hours Thursday trying to delicately extricate a worker trapped up past his chest in corn in a Farmington grain silo. The man fell in while attempting to empty it shortly before 11:30 a.m. He was freed 8 1/2 hours later.

After eight hours stuck in a grain bin and a night at Hennepin County Medical Center, Mark Malecha is back home in Farmington. They had to be concerned with Crush syndrome and move the corn bucket by bucket to dug him out. It was literally a race against the corn that the rescue workers and Mark Malecha won.
Rescue Vac Systems web site, they only problem here would have been having long enough hose.
