For Whom The Bell Tolls

A man has had a lucky escape after a two-tonne bell fell on top of him and trapped him at a temple.
Lin Wang was visiting the museum with a friend that decided he was going to frantically ring the bell while his mate was standing underneath it.

This led to the rope holding the construct snapping and the bell enveloping a bemused Lin.
‘This bell is very old and should have been treated with respect,’ said a temple spokesman.
‘Instead, it broke and the bell fell on top of the man like a trap. The bell is very heavy and he’s lucky he wasn’t crushed,’ he added.
