What transpired when a toddler in Texas went down a small pipe has been made public by a chilling simulation.
The nation held its breath while rescuers struggled to liberate the toddler trapped in the extremely narrow pipe.
In her aunt’s garden, Jessica fell into a well (Barbara Laing/Liaison Agency).
How is baby Jessica doing?
Jessica McClure, who was only eighteen months old at the time, fell down an eight-inch-wide well while playing in her aunt’s backyard on October 14, 1987.
Jessica was entangled with her leg above her head after falling 22 feet.
Although it’s difficult to comprehend how someone could go down such a little well, baby Jessica can be seen racing down the pipe before becoming caught in a simulation made by Zack D. Films.
Before she takes a step back on top of the hole, Jessica is seen in the video playing in the garden.
Her other leg ends up above her head as she hurtles down the pipe, while the first leg plunges straight into the well.
After that, she gets trapped on a dogleg within the small aperture, where she stays for 56 stressful hours.
How was Jessica saved, then?
Before dropping a ladder into the shaft and cutting through hard rock to finally reach the child, authorities miraculously drilled a hole next to the well.
Rescuers were encouraged that Jessica was still alive when they heard her singing Winnie the Pooh after they had inserted a microphone into the well.
A paramedic eventually managed to return with the infant after climbing down the drilled shaft.
Due to an infection brought on by keeping her foot up so long, the child had to have her toe removed in addition to suffering a cut to her head.
Jessica, who is now a mother, claims she has no memory of the incident.
“I had God on my side that day,” she stated in an interview with People.
“I live a miraculous existence. I hope [my rescue] teaches my kids to remain modest at all times.
“And to remember that if you look hard enough, there are so many good people in this world.”
To this day, Jessica’s story still shocks people.
“Mad respect to these rescuers for not giving up and saving the poor girl,” one YouTube commenter wrote in response to the simulated clip. Absolutely excellent effort.
“I remember when that happened,” another person remarked. It happened in Texas in 1987. I had a child roughly her age and had recently moved there. I think her name was Jessica Mclure. We all fervently hoped for that child.
“This just made me feel so bad for that baby to go through that,” a third person wrote. She is really thankful to everyone that assisted her! Her family must have been relieved when she finally got it out.
