Hundreds of rescuers in Vietnam battled Monday to free a 10-year-old boy who fell into a 115-foot-deep hole at a construction site two days ago.
The boy, named Thai Ly Hao Nam, fell into the shaft of a hollow concrete pillar just 10 inches wide, sunk as part of a new bridge in southern Dong Thap province, apparently while looking for scrap metal, a rescuer told AFP by phone.
According to media reports, rescuers have tried drilling and softening the surrounding soil to try to pull the pillar up to save Nam.
