Cuban firefighters successfully rescued a man who fell into the vent of a tunnel in Santiago de Cuba, an event that was recorded by witnesses.
The accident occurred on Saturday afternoon in the vicinity of the Antonio Maceo polytechnic, known as Arts and Crafts.
The man, named David Cleger Romero, 38 years old, fell through a hole in an old shelter in the area.
"The teachers at the School of Arts and Trades heard the cry, and that's why they called the firefighters," revealed to independent journalist Yosmany Mayeta Labrada a teacher who was on duty at the institution.
According to witnesses, the firefighters and rescuers took time to arrive, despite being notified early on.
Residents in the area claim that those holes are several meters deep and it's a miracle that they heard the young man's screams and were able to rescue him alive.
Cleger Romero was transferred to Saturnino Lora hospital, where doctors have said he will recover from his injuries.
