Firefighters rescued a 2-year-old boy who got stuck in a washing machine last Thursday, in Urumqi, capital of Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region.

About 6 am that morning the boy climbed into the washing machine for fun after his parents went out on business, but he couldn't get out, for at least two hours.

His cries woke up his 8-year-old brother, who went for help. Their neighbors reported the incident to local police and firemen, who rescued the uninjured boy about 9:40 am.
