Farmer, 95, pulled alive from mud by pal after being buried for two days

Tom Killen was wedged up to his shoulders in a bog on his Carters Ridge property, two hours north of Brisbane in Queensland, with no way of calling for help, it is reported.

A friend said that he was “one of the toughest people I’ve seen at that age” with Mr Killen surviving the ordeal.
