Rescuers prepare to lower a volunteer into a well parallel to the one
18-month-old Jessica McClure fell into.     
    
    
     
   


On this day in 1887, rescuers freed Jessica McClure from the abandoned well
that she had fallen into in Midland, TX. She was trapped for 58 hours.

Jessica McClure Morales became 33 years young in March.

Following McClure’s rescue on October 16, 1987, surgeons had to
amputate a toe due to gangrene from loss of circulation while she
was in the well. She also has a scar on her forehead where her
head rubbed against the well casing. She had 15 surgeries over
the years and has no first-hand memory of the event.
