Extracted by a team of specialized firefighters early in the afternoon, the victim was taken to the hospital in Purpan. His life is not in danger.

After an impressive fall from a guardrail located more than seven meters high, the structure of which apparently gave way, a worker present on an Airbus site (Blagnac) remained stuck in a pit, according to The Dispatch .

It took the intervention of a team of specialist firefighters from the Reconnaissance and Intervention Group in Dangerous Environments (GRIMP) to extract him, according to information from France 3.

Transferred in “relative emergency” to the hospital in Purpan, his life is not in danger, according to the firefighters. An investigation has been opened to determine the circumstances that led to the accident.

This is the second incident to affect an Airbus site in Toulouse in two days: on Sunday morning, a fire in a furnace used as a hydraulic press for metal aircraft parts mobilized around twenty firefighters in the Airbus Saint-Eloi workshops, also in Toulouse.
