Unfortunately, the child followed his father, and unfortunately, the son tripped on the old and fragile plywood cover of the well, which was 20 feet deep.

The father managed to get down to rescue the child, but even he struggled when he lost consciousness due to the heat, lack of air, and the pungent odor at the bottom of the well.

It took an hour before two of the rescue workers were caught.
