Emergency rescue team takes 16 minutes to dismantle appliance as girl remains curled up inside before setting her free
A girl in eastern China tried to “cool off” after arguing with her mother about homework, only to get stuck inside the family’s washing machine.
On March 30, a 12-year-old girl from Kunshan, Jiangsu province, was scolded by her mother for failing to complete her homework on time.
The frustrated girl decided to take an unusual step to calm herself down, she climbed into the home’s top-loading washing machine while her mother was not looking.
Once inside, the girl quickly realised she was stuck and unable to move.
After failing to free her, her mother called emergency services for help.
When firefighters arrived, the girl was clearly in pain, crying out, “It hurts!”
