[release]HARTFORD, Conn. -- Jonathan Metz had his arm stuck in his furnace boiler for about 12 hours when he asked himself "what would MacGyver do?" and concluded that amputating the limb was his only chance for survival.
The 31-year-old West Hartford man, who was released from the hospital Monday, met with the news media Tuesday for the first time since getting his arm stuck in his furnace for two days and nearly cutting off the limb.
Metz said he when the thought of amputation first crossed his mind he pushed it away, considering every other option and thinking of the 1980s television character who always found a way out of tough situations.
"I definitely dithered for a few hours after coming up with the initial idea," he said. "I thought there must be some other way, so I kind of started looking around my surroundings again. Maybe there was something I missed. You know, what would MacGyver do if he were here?"
He said he spent six hours psyching himself up for the self-amputation.
His fantasy, he said, was that he could cut off the arm, run upstairs and put it in his freezer, call 911, then go to the hospital and get it reattached.
Metz said he first used a hacksaw blade, then used a larger blade, which he hoped would make the operation go smoother. He nearly succeeded, but couldn't make it through a bundle of nerves.[/release]

I got it from a different source, and I don't have time to look to thoroughly for threads on the same article.
how did her escape?
Edit:
nevermind read the article.
someone called the cops when he was missing, they found him with his arm almost cut off. Firefighters used a powertool to break apart the thing his arm was stuck in, and then the arm fell off.

It's on the same fucking page. If you don't have the time to look through the first PAGE then you shouldn't have the time to post a thread either.
