This was crazy story this morning Hundreds of rescue workers in Vietnam have been desperately trying to free a 10-year-old boy, two days after he fell into an open shaft of a concrete pile at a construction site on New Year’s Eve. Thai Ly Hao Nam was heard crying for help shortly after he fell into the pile on Saturday morning, but rescuers received no response from him on Monday as they lowered a camera down to try to locate his position in the 35-metre-long (115-foot-long) support pillar. www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/1/2/vietnam-rescuers-battle-to-save-boy-stuck-in-concrete-pile

Really sad update out of Nam Vietnam boy trapped in building shaft declared dead The 10-year-old fell down the extremely narrow and deep hole after looking for scrap metal with friends. Rescue workers said he had stopped communicating several days earlier. Officials in Vietnam on Wednesday said that a 10-year-old boy who had become trapped in a narrow shaft on a construction site early on New Year's Eve had been declared dead. "He has been trapped in a hollow pillar very deep down... with multiple injuries and not enough oxygen for a very long time," Doan Tan Buu, deputy chief of Dong Thap province, told journalists at the construction site. "We had prioritized the rescue of the boy. However, the conditions mean it is impossible the boy has survived," he added, saying that the decision had been taken after consultation with medical experts. Thai Ly Hao Nam became trapped in the 35-meter (115-foot) hole late on Saturday. Rescue workers remain flummoxed as to how the boy fit as the passage is only 25 centimeters (10 inches) wide and partially blocked by a concrete pillar. www.dw.com/en/vietnam-boy-trapped-in-building-shaft-declared-dead/a-64286237
