the weight of the earth compressing his body. firefighters say the 50-year-old man was working on a friend's sewer line. he had dug a trench ten feet deep. it was 12 feet long and 30 inches wide but it doesn't appear that he had any shoring device to secure the trench walls. around 5:30 this evening the walls of that trench came crashing in around him and he was buried up to his shoulders. firefighters were worried about him because of the weight of the dirt and they had to monitor his body temperature, his core body temperature because they were worried that he was going to become hypothermic. rescue workers had to use hand tools and buckets to dig him out carefully and around 8:30 they finally pulled h him out to a cheering crowd of neighbors. he was taken away, driven to a nearby middle school where he was flown to the hospital in walnut creek. a well thought out rescue effort here. they couldn't use heavy machinery or equipment because that would have posed a very serious threat digging right next to the man. so it was a very tedious job. he is very lucky that his head was sticking out when all of that dirt came crashing in around him because the trench was 10 feet deep and his head was below the level of the ground. dan? >> thank goodness he was able to be saved shovel by shovel as you said and he was quite fortunate he was able to breathe. thanks very
