NathanFirst Glimpse Into The Well
He explained the experience and told them everything. As he was being slowly lowered down inside the depths of the 15-meter well, upside-down, he told the toddler to reach out for his hands. He knew he had to grab hold of the boy’s hands quickly. At first, Cristian admitted that he was a little afraid then as he was closer to the boy he “was not afraid.”
Any Wrong Move
As you can already imagine, this was by no means an easy task. It was even more difficult because the little boy had been injured and in pain due to the forceful fall. If any of the boys made a wrong move, the situation could worsen and everything could potentially fall apart. There was a point in time during his rescue that Cristian thought he had failed.
Finding The Toddler
There was yet another question that was there in everyone’s mind during all of this. The crowd and the reporters wanted to know exactly how the poor toddler looked when Cristian first saw him inside the dark well? Since the boy had been trapped inside for multiple hours, they were curious to know which state he was in when he finally spotted him.
The Boy’s Response
Cristian was quick to point out that the little boy obviously looked very scared and afraid when he got down there. Because he had fallen into the 15 meter well, the toddler had fractured his spinal cord and was in a lot of pain. But in the end, the teenage boy was able to save the little boy. There were still some people who wanted to know how it felt inside…
Rescue In The Stifling Heat
Cristian held his hands out to hold the boy but due to limited air and hot temperature, his hands were very slippery. There was a point where he thought he had even dropped him. But in the end, he was able to hold him tightly. Cristian even said,“I had a good grip on him”. Cristian then needed to give a signal to the people outside that they were ready to be pulled up.
Ready To Leave The Well
When he knew that he had a tight grip on the boy, Cristian gave the rescuers above the signal. “I shook my feet twice for them to take me out, and I grabbed him by the hand and took him out,” he revealed to interviewers. The crew outside pulled up the roped attached to Cristian’s feet and waist until the two of them were out in the fresh air once again.
