How 30 scaffolders, builders, police, fire and ambulance crew rescued 63st teenager from her home

A teenager weighing 63st was taken to hospital yesterday with the help of builders, scaffolders and members of all three emergency services.
Georgia Davis, 19, needed urgent medical care but it took around 30 people almost eight hours to get her into an ambulance.
The road outside her home was closed off as two walls of the house were demolished to move her from her first-floor bedroom.

Her medical condition was not known, but it is understood she had suffered massive organ failure after reaching a reported weight of 63st.
Large dust sheets and tarpaulins were put up outside her home in Aberdare, South Wales, so the operation could be conducted in private. 'This is not a freak show,' said a police officer.
Builders had to remove a window before tearing down an external and internal wall to free Miss Davis from her semi-detached council house.

Scaffolding and a makeshift bridge were used to move her safely, and while there was a crane on site, it is not thought it was used to lift her.
Residents said the operation to move Miss Davis began just after 9am, and she was seen leaving the scene in an ambulance just after 5pm.
The cost of the operation – involving police, fire service and ambulance crews – is likely to run into tens of thousands of pounds to cover manpower, plus the emergency call-out and the reconstruction of the demolished walls.

Local residents said work on moving Miss Davis began just after 9am yesterday, and she was seen leaving the scene in an ambulance just after 5pm.
After large dust sheets and tarpaulins were put up in order to hide what was happening, a police officer said: 'We want to keep people away. This is not a freak show.'
Miss Davis was declared Britain's largest teenager when it was revealed in August 2008 that she weighed 33st at just 15.
Doctors said she would die if she didn't lose weight and she was sent to an American fat camp where she shed half her body weight.
But after returning to the UK the 5ft 6ins teen ballooned after returning to her bad habits and gaining 16 stone.
Neighbours said she is thought to now weigh 63 stone, but added that it is impossible to know her true weight as it would require an industrial strength scale to measure.
