Man found in container at Bangladesh port

A man avoided a potential grisly end when he was found in a container at a port in Bangladesh.

30-year-old Babul Tripura, a worker at Chittagong port, in the south east of the country, had finished loading garments into the container during a night shift when he fell asleep.

The container was sealed and was about to be sent for its sea voyage when, woken by the movement, Tripura banged frantically on the walls.

After several failed attempts, he was heard and released from the container.

The port authority has pointed a finger at the privately-owned depot company, accusing them of negligence for improperly checking containers.
