AN 18-year-old hacked off his own leg using a blunt hoe and then a saw after he was trapped in rubble following an earthquake.
Construction worker Ramlan, from Padang, Indonesia, had been working on the seventh floor of a new building when the tremors hit the island of Sumatra on September 30.
He was trapped by a concrete girder which crushed his right leg up to the shin as he tried to flee with his fellow workers.
