Rescuers in Vietnam are trying to rescue a 10-year-old boy who fell into a deep and narrow open hole at a construction site on New Year’s Eve.
The boy, Ly Hao Nam, had been searching for scrap metal with friends when he fell into the shaft at a bridge construction site in the Mekong Delta province of Dong Thap, on the morning of Dec. 31.
He was heard crying for help shortly after he fell into the shaft of a hollow concrete file just 10 inches (25 cm) wide.
Hundreds of rescuers have since continued their efforts to rescue the boy, but as of Jan. 2, they received no response from him as they tried to pinpoint his location by lowering a camera down the 35-meter (115-foot) long support pillar….
