Swimmer rescued

IT took 60 rescuers two hours to free a member of the Austrian Olympic swim team who was buried in sand up to his neck on Florida's Pompano Beach. Authorities say 19-year-old Jakub Maly had spent much of Sunday digging a hole that was more than 2 meters deep and nearly 2 meters across. Maly jumped into the hole as a joke and sand collapsed around him. Rescuers said he was in danger of being crushed by the pressure from the sand.
