An elderly woman enjoying a morning stroll with her husband  suffered a shock when she stepped onto a loose manhole cover and plunged  down into the hole. Wang Lu, 87, and her husband Wang Jungcheng were  taking an walk in Changchun, northeast China's Jilin province, when the  incident occurred. According to Jungcheng his wife stepped onto a  manhole cover which suddenly moved - causing her to plummet down the  hole. 'I instantly caught her clothes, but she still dropped down,' he  said. Emergency services were called and a firefighter clambered down  into the 3m deep hole in order to help  Lu climb out. She was then  checked over by medical staff who declared that she was fine apart from a  few scratches. According to residents, when the cover for the manhole  went missing the local community office found another for it. However,  this  new lid was smaller than the original and didn't fit the manhole  properly
