Firefighters rescued Anthony Abruzzese, who fell more than 30 feet into a silo housing flour for blueberry waffles at a Kellogg’s plant in Winslow Township, Camden, NJ.

Abruzzese, 38, is an employee at Kellogg. He got stuck in the silo when he went to check the flour levels, only to find himself waist deep in the white, powdery mix, according to the fire chief.

Rescuers were very careful as they tried to pull him out, fearing the wrong move could cause him to sink in the 10 feet of flour. There was also a concern that the flour could ignite.

Rescuers dropped ropes inside the silo to pull out Abruzzese, who remained conscious during the entire rescue process, after which he refused treatment.

I guess if you're going to fall 30 feet, falling into blueberry waffle mix is the way to go. Sounds like it cushioned his fall pretty well if he didn't require treatment afterwards!

Wonder if he'll ever eat a blueberry waffle again, though.

That reminds me of a guy my uncle worked with, except he fell into a silo filed with like 100 ft of grain and needless to say he did not make it out alive

Yikes. Sad.

Sounds like this guy was definitely lucky. Even sinking a few more feet could have been disasterous.
