Firefighters were forced to step in to make a dramatic rescue - after a woman in the US found herself trapped by her sofa.
53-year-old Melissa was attempting to move her sofa downstairs into the basement with the help of her partner Todd, 55, when it became wedged on the staircase. Melissa unfortunately found herself on the wrong side of the sofa, becoming trapped beneath it in the basement in a situation worthy of a Friends episode.
Melissa ended up being stuck in the unfortunate predicament for three hours as Todd and her daughter Claire, 23, attempted to dislodge the sofa. But after having no luck, even after Todd resorted to making a hole in the wall, the family eventually gave up and called the fire brigade, WalesOnline reports .

Firefighters finally managed to free Melissa - while daughter Claire filmed the whole predicament and posted it on TikTok, where it quickly racked up millions of views. “I thought it was hilarious,” Claire admitted.
She added: “My parents did not think it was funny. My dad was mad because of the damage and my mom thought she was never getting out.”
But Claire said that they eventually saw the amusing side of the situation. “After the fact, my mom thought it was really funny. We laughed about it afterwards.”
TikTok viewers were left in stitches by the video, with many drawing comparisons to the iconic Friends scene in which Ross attempts to get his new sofa up to his apartment with the help of Rachel and Chandler only to see it become wedged in the staircase. “911, we didn’t pivot,” one person joked in the comments section, while another added: “Pivot! Pivot! Pivot! - She did, in fact, not pivot.”
