On New Year’s Eve, Ly Hao Nam and his friends were scouring the building site for scrap iron when the tragedy happened.
The search, however, proved to be fatal when he fell down the 115-foot-deep pillar and was unable to escape on his own.
Oxygen was poured in, water was lowered for him to drink, and the muck around the pillar was cleared so they could remove it and save the youngster.
How did Ly Hao Nam fare?

On December 31, 2022, a 10-year-old child from the area crashed into a pillar.
All chance of saving the young child was gone when he was pronounced dead more than 100 hours after the rescue attempt began.
The victim was declared dead by the authorities, according to Doan Tan Buu, the vice chairman of Dong Thap province in the south.
To prepare for the burial, the rescuers are currently attempting to remove the 10-year-old’s body from inside the pillar.
Officials used every method at their disposal to try and free Ly Hao Nam from the pillar.
Rescuers in Dong Thap attempted to cut the youngster free from the pillar by raising it out of the 115-foot-deep hole.
To raise the pillar, they had begun clearing away the muck and water around it. Nam was given oxygen through the little pillar to help him breathe.

The youngster was also given access to water that was dropped within the pillar. But there were no indications that he had consumed any.
Pham Minh Chinh, the prime minister of Vietnam, encouraged local officials and rescuers to employ all techniques and tools necessary to save the 10-year-old.
For the safe retrieval of the youngster, Vietnamese authorities dispatched over a hundred soldiers and engineering specialists.
The 10-year-old’s cries for assistance were heard after he hit the pillar. After the event, he continued to yell for some time.
All of those efforts, though, were in vain because the young child had already passed away. His body is currently being sought after by authorities so that it can be properly buried.
