<\/p>\nA man is currently fighting for his life after falling into a huge hole and becoming buried alive.<\/p>\n
Paramedics in Queensland, Australia, were called to help 25-year-old Josh Taylor on Saturday (December 2). Josh reportedly fell into a hole head first and was buried in sand with desperate attempts to save him. <\/p>\n
A witness called Nathan jumped in to help the rescue mission and spoke to 7 News. He claims the huge hole was dug to cook a whole pig in on a beach on Bribie Island, near Brisbane, Australia. <\/p>\n

Nathan continued: \u201cHe stood up off the chair, the sand had given away a little bit underneath him. He stumbled back. He\u2019d put his arms out to obviously to break the fall, he\u2019s continued going down and knocked sand as he\u2019s put his arms out. He was that deep in the hole that you could not see him, his feet, unless you were standing on top of the hole.\u201d<\/p>\n

When I first went up to the hole, I couldn\u2019t even see his foot. That\u2019s how deep it was.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll of his family, were screaming at us, telling us to help, telling us to get rope so we could pull him out. It was pretty gruesome."<\/p>\n
