Rescue Crews Rush to Save Boy Trapped in Malaga Well Ahead of Forecast Rain

An international rescue team worked on January 18 to free a two-year-old boy from a borehole in Malaga, Spain, ahead of forecast rain, according to Spanish reports.

The boy, Julen, fell down the borehole on property owned by his family on January 13. Authorities said they thought he could still be alive and powerful motorway construction equipment was shipped to the site to help drill down to aid in his rescue.
