Boy Rescued After Nine Hours In Subfreezing Mine Hole

A seven year old boy was pulled feet first from a six foot deep pit at the top of a diamond drill shaft near a coal mine in South Africa after nearly nine hours trapped in subfreezing weather. He suffered no serious effects. Rescue teams battled rockfalls and planned a straight shaft approach to reach 440 miners entombed 500 feet down, with a drill sinking to widen the gap and determine if the trapped men could be saved. The boy slipped into the hole while exploring as rescuers and dogs searched the shaft area for signs of life.
