Toddler Rescued From A Pipe 12 Feet Down

First responders in Kansas saved a 14-month-old toddler named Bentley who fell down a pipe last week. Mom saw him fall but had no idea how far down he fell or what was down there.  It was a foot wide and 12 feet deep, but he wasn’t seriously hurt.  Here is the boy’s father Blake talking about the rescue. 

It took them about 15 to 20 minutes to get him out and they needed a plan B when the toddler wasn’t great and following directions with the rope. They said, “The child fought us and took the rope away from his body from where it needed to be. So they constructed a makeshift “catch pole” using a smaller PVC pipe and rope and got him safely up.
