TikToker calls firefighters to rescue mom trapped under couch SWNSA TikToker went viral after calling firefighters to rescue her mom who was stuck under a couch for three hours. Content creator Claire\u2019s mother was moving the couch into the basement with her partner, when it suddenly got wedged in the staircase. When the TikToker came home, she found her mom trapped on the wrong side of the couch, and tried to help free her, before giving up eventually. In a viral video with over 13 million views, the couch was seen covering the entrance of the basement, while the mother\u2019s hand stuck out from a tiny gap between it and the stairwell. The mom was stuck in the basement for almost three hours, while her daughter and partner tried to dislodge a handrail from the wall in hopes of freeing her. Claire\u2019s dad even made a hole in the wall trying to get the couch into the basement, but to no avail. The family from Columbus, Ohio, USA, had no choice but to call the fire department as their last resort. The firefighters successfully released the trapped woman, as they managed to get the handrail off the wall by wriggling through the hole. \u201cI thought it was hilarious,\u201d the TikToker said. \u201cMy parents did not think it was funny. My dad was mad because of the damage and my mom thought she was never getting out \u201cWhen the fire brigade got there I was really trying to insert myself into the situation because I have a twin sister and I wanted to film it for her.\u201d Speaking about the minor damage, Claire said: \u201cI don\u2019t think it should be expensive to fix. After the fact, my mom thought it was really funny. We laughed about it afterwards.\u201d On TikTok, users flooded the comments section with references to a famous episode of \u2018Friends\u2019 in which the characters fail to move a couch. \u201c911, we didn\u2019t pivot,\u201d one wrote. \u201cPivot! pivot! pivot!, she did in fact, not pivot,\u201d another commented, referencing an iconic scene from the sitcom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
