Brownian Motion Posted January 3, 2007 Report Posted January 3, 2007 January 3, 2007 Michigan: Man Rescued From Trash Truck By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS A man who awoke inside a garbage truck that was about to compact its load on Thursday in Oak Park, Mich., was rescued after making a cellphone call to the police, the authorities said. The man was scavenging for bottles when he fell asleep in a Dumpster, said Lt. Mike Pousak of the Oak Park police. He awoke when the container was unloaded into a truck. He told the police he did not know which truck he was in but gave a dispatcher the location of the Dumpster he fell asleep in, Lieutenant Pousak said. The police checked several trucks, including one in a parking lot. “An officer went and pounded on the side of the truck and somebody pounded back,” Lieutenant Pousak said. The man was not hurt.
