— - A man who was trapped 15 feet underground for two days in a San Francisco Bay Area storm pipe the width of a large pizza was rescued in an effort that lasted hours and involved at least 50 firefighters, police officers and rescue personnel, officials said Monday.
"When we finally got him out of the ground, he was beyond exuberant. He was beyond happy to be above ground," Hill said.The man, in his mid-30s, wasn't injured but showed signs of dehydration and was taken to a hospital to be evaluated, Hill said. "Somehow people passing by on a walking path some distance away from the stormwater system managed to hear his cries for help. That's fairly miraculous because it was pretty windy out there," Hill said.
