YouTube: The rescue live

Everyone who was alive remembers the night America cried together in relief. When those wide open eyes were shown when they brought her out. Literally tears of joy across the land.

The paramedic who pulled her out of the pipe passed her back to the paramedic (Robert O'Donnell) who brought her to the surface. O'Donnell years later committed suicide.

She was starting to suffer from hypothermia. The paramedic who pulled her from the pipe was given bone chilling instructions. "Protect her neck and spine. Break her bones if you have to. She has to come out now."

They were prepared to break her arms and legs if needed. They knew they were close to losing her. Broken bones will heal. She had to come out.

Chick that fell down the well?


No, she got stuck in a whale.

I was four, that's what I heard, and that's what I thought happened until I was in college.

OweO doesn't have a baboon heart. He has a baboon tail.

After Balloon boy, people would think it was a setup for attention and money now.

I was just talking to my sister about this on Friday. We were telling my niece how big of a deal poor Jessica in that well was for all of America at the time.

Pretty good miniseries was made about it.

The machine they used to drill down and rescue her was from somewhere sun Louisiana if I remember correctly.

No, that’s OweO
If Oweo fell in a well I'd hope someone would fill the damned hole and put a concrete capstone on it to ensure it stayed sealed.

Was at a high school football game and they announced over the speakers the good news. Place went nuts with cheering louder than at any point during the game that night.

Now we would just complain about how terrible her parents are/were and criticize the rescue effort while politicians would be trying to figure out how to use it for political gain.

Yep.
And someone would chime in to claim it was some kind of conspiracy. LOL
