SHIJIAZHUANG, Nov. 9 (Xinhua) -- Rescuers in the northern province of Hebei are racing against the clock to rescue a boy who has been trapped in an abandoned well for over 60 hours.
Over 500 rescuers and some one hundred excavators are working at the 40-meter deep dry well in Lixian County, Baoding City.
The boy, 6, fell down the well Sunday. As the 30 centimeter-diameter well was too narrow for any adult to climb into rescuers are digging out a well to reach the boy.
Oxygen is being channeled into the well. Signs of life have not been found yet, although the rescuers are nearing the bottom of the well.
