Man Freed by Firefighters After Getting Stuck Under Train Armrest While Looking for AirPod

  • Firefighters freed a man stuck under a train armrest at Lehrte station, Germany, on Friday evening while he searched for a lost AirPod.
  • The man's hand had swollen, preventing simple rescue tools from working, which caused the rescue to become complex and prolonged.
  • Firefighters dismantled seats and a luggage rack, used hydraulic equipment, involved 11 personnel and two vehicles, and police attended the scene during the around 90-minute effort.
  • The fire department described the scenes as 'unpleasant' due to onlookers, and a rescue blanket blocked the view while the train was evacuated and replaced service arranged for passengers.
  • The man was handed to emergency services after rescue, his AirPods recovered, and measures were taken to prevent gawkers from photographing him during the extensive operation.
