About half a second, a report was received that a man digging a well in the Šiauliai district, Varputėnai village, had fallen and crushed the ground. The chiefs of patrol from the Šiauliai County Police Patrol Team, Rolandas Jankevičius and Ignas Balčiūnas, were the first to arrive. At the well, they saw a man full of sand, whose only neck was visible, and another man who had fallen to his rescue was also standing waist-deep in the sand, Šiauliai County Police reports.
The latter kept trying to dig up his friend’s face with the palms of his hands in order to inspire. Patrols scrambled to search the house for boards to fortify the sand that was still crumbling. Together with firefighters and rescuers who arrived at the scene, they exchanged shovels to dig around the men trapped in the sand in an attempt to free them. After a slight discovery of the man’s face pressed to the ground, doctors gave rescuers an oxygen mask to help the man not suffocate. A friend of the infested imprisoned in the arena held her the entire time. Unfortunately, the fight with the sand was unsuccessful: since much of it was excavated, the double collapsed again.
It was clear that shovels would not save men. Rescuers said their excavator for rescue work is outside the city of Šiauliai and it will be a long time before it arrives. As the delay was no longer possible, both the rescuers and the men crushed with sand were in great danger, the police officers got into the car and headed to the village in search of a bulldozer. Who could have it, the patrols did not even imagine it. On the way, he recalled that the former patrolman Saulius Rupšys lived in this same town, who could find out which of the inhabitants has excavation equipment.
The former officer did not forget his oath to “Defend, protect, help”, even though he had completed his police service eight years ago, and he immediately contacted two acquaintances who were able to help.
Soon, the Jumz excavator, powered by Mindaugas Jablonskis, and the CAT excavator, powered by Antanas Rimeikis from the neighboring town of Micaičiai, were already at the scene of the accident. A rescue tractor arrived to join them. They dug a huge pit around it so that the sand began to slide in the opposite direction, not on the men in the pit.
First they pulled the least oppressed man out of the well. He suffered no physical injuries, he was just very scared. However, the deeply pressed man could not be pulled out in any way, because the deeper he dug, the more sand slid over him. The man was even dumped again twice and completely buried underground.
For the disaster-ridden land, respiration was maintained all the time by medically connected oxygen from balloons, several of which were used. Finally, the perseverance of the officials and community representatives involved in the rescue operation also helped free the second man, 41, who had been underground for two and a half hours. The rescued man was conscious, turned over to doctors and transferred to a medical institution.
