sadly so, they did try very hard so respect to them.

Very sad. The way the story was initially reported it made it sound like it was really just a matter of time to get him out and start on the movie dramatisation but presumably his injuries were less slight than believed.

I imagine the main problem was that the well probably had several feet of cold damp mud at the bottom, which the kid would have been stuck quite deep in after dropping a hundred feet. So he would have been suffering from exposure, plus shortage of oxygen unless they pumped down fresh air.

I got the impression they could get everything to him he might need except a person. But at 5, he might not have been able to do what he needed. Can you imagine being the person on the surface sending him down things which will keep him alive, but unable to intervene? Everyone involved must be traumatised.

Now there's another kid stuck down a well. What is it with young boys and wells these days? Is it some new craze, like conkers?
