movieguy Posted April 26, 2005 Report Posted April 26, 2005 Teenager got stuck in bin An Australian teenager had to be rescued by firefighters after getting stuck head first in a bin. Jonathan Petherbridge spent 45 minutes upside down in the bin in a popular bar area of Melbourne. He climbed into the bin after his friends threw his mobile phone in it for a joke but got stuck. While the unlucky teenager struggled to free himself, a crowd of up to 100 people gathered to jeer and take pictures of him. "I could hear the crowd calling me an idiot and stuff, but that was cool. I did feel pretty stupid. I was pretty drunk," Petherbridge told The Sunday Age. "And when I finally did get out, the crowd cheered and started clapping. It was pretty funny." Fireman Trevor Lynch-Whild added: "We could see a crowd of about 100 people and these two legs, vertical, swinging in the breeze." Attempts at lubrication failed to free the teenager, eventually a hacksaw had to be used. www.ananova.com
