A routine workday turned into a dramatic rescue mission when a construction crew discovered a tiny kitten trapped inside heavy Komatsu machinery.

Dramatic footage captured operating supervisor Chase Guello prying open a jammed metal component, freeing the feline as she tumbled safely into waiting hands.

Unharmed by the harrowing ordeal, the adventurous kitten has officially joined the ranks of the crew that saved her, trading industrial danger for hard-hat companionship.
