Worker found alive in Hinstock warehouse collapses

A worker trapped after metal shelving inside a food distribution warehouse collapsed has been found alive and unhurt.
Rows of metal racking came down in the building on Hatton Road, just outside Hinstock, Shropshire at 9.40am.

Fire crews used drones and cut through the roof to try and locate the missing forklift truck driver.

They are trying to free him from the wreckage in a search described as "one of the biggest in their history".

(continued, he didn't want to be found...could have survived weeks if not months....)

Bloody silly, if you ask me.

Cheese never was a suitable building material.

Bollocks, duplicate.

Bollocks, duplicate.

Yep, mostly pairs...

The headline makes it sound like the worker collapsed, and not the warehouse.

Never heard of Hinsock cheese.

I expect it's smelly.

Hard as nails.

Apparently, you can find things alive in it.

I'm not persuaded to try it.

A forklift driver (not necessarily the one who was rescued) probably hit an upright of the racking, which buckled, collapsed and caused a chain reaction. Like this:

Being trapped under all those shelves would leave one in something of a pickle, which is just the job with cheese
