Man puts finger in gas tank, gets stuck for hours

SAGINAW, Michigan -A Michigan man has learned not to stick his fingers in certain places. Victor Harris, of Saginaw, Michigan, was pouring a fuel additive into his Lincoln Navigator sport utility vehicle Thursday when a piece of paper fell into the gas tank. Harris tried to fish the paper out, but his index finger became stuck in the gas tank.

WJRT-TV reported Harris tried to extract his digit for two hours before friends called the fire department. It took another two hours before emergency responders cut the gas tank tube out of the vehicle.

Doctors later removed Harris' finger from the tube. He received two stitches.

Harris said he's learned his lesson and won't put his finger back in the gas tank.

See what happen when you don't let them do stupid things when they are still a kid?



Around the Network

I've seen pictures during ocupational health and safety talks that display people who have done things like this but worse.



Pacman taught people to run around in dark rooms munching on pills while listening to repettive techno music and for that I somewhat idolise him.

Hahahahha. I love how they waited 2 hours before they called the fire department. I imagine 90 minutes in he's saying "Hold up guys, I think I can get it out. Just let me wiggle around for another half an hour."

I'm surprised this four star clown didn't light a cigarette with his other hand.

I suspect he's a non-smoker. Otherwise, that's a lot of time on his... other hand.
