A warehouse worker has survived eight hours buried underneath tons of cheese after a series of 18 feet high shelves fell on top of his forklift truck.
The shelves were holding 20kg of blocks of the Cheddar and Red Leicester cheese when they knocked into each other in a "domino effect".
Tomasz Wisniewski was feared dead after the incident took place at the food distribution centre in Hinstock, Shropshire.
Mr Wisniewski was safely removed from the wreckage and taken to Princess Royal Hospital as a precaution.
Specialist urban search and rescue teams from the West Midlands, Merseyside, and Leicestershire, including sniffer dogs, were involved in trying to pull the Polish worker from the wreckage inside the 60m building.

"What a senseless waste of human life."
He’ll never eat cheese again.
Cheese, Jerry, cheese!
Same thing happened to my uncle!
i heard it was a muenster of a pile on top of him..
Customer: This is in fact, a cheese shop?
Salesperson: Finest in the district, sir!
Customer: Explain how you come to that conclusion.
No wonder he was trapped for hours. He should have hollered, “Fire!” Nobody is gonna come to the rescue if he hollers “Cheddar!” or “Red Leicester!”
I love Polish with Cheese!
Why just this past week pan-fried some Kielbasa in the skillet with diced red and white onions.
And to go for the full redneck mode, I used a combination of aerosol cheese and shredded Colby Jack and Cheddar.
Spicy mustard was out so I had to go pedestrian with yellow mustard.
Seriously, glad they rescued this guy.
Crackers, don't forget the crackers!
Well, it’s so clean, sir!
It’s certainly uncontaminated by cheese.
One of their best.
I put it up there with the soccer match between philosophers.
What - no crackers...?
