    Dallas firefighters used airbags to lift a commuter train and rescue a man who had become trapped beneath it Thursday night.

    Firefighters pulled a man free after he was trapped under a DART train Wednesday night in Downtown Dallas.

    The incident happened around 11 p.m. at the West End DART station in the 700 block of Pacific Avenue, officials said.

    Firefighters used airbags to lift the train for enough clearance to remove the victim, who was taken to an area hospital in unknown condition and whose name was not released.
