Sao Paulo Police Rescue 9-Year-Old Trapped Under Clay

Aurora Li
Police were filmed digging out a nine-year-old who had become trapped under a meter of mud in Pauliceia in the state of Sao Paulo, Brazil, on February 12. The Sao Paulo Military Police said that they were on patrol when they were approached by a woman who said that a small child had become buried in the mud. After deciding not to use heavy machinery to get to the girl, as they feared that might injure her, the police and other bystanders used their hands to dig holes through the mud, even though they did not know where exactly the child was submerged. The police eventually located the girl about a meter deep in the mud and were able to clear her airways, though she still had trouble breathing as the clay was pushing on her chest. The police said they were able to remove the girl, called Isabele, who was taken to the local hospital and was said to be doing well. Credit: Sao Paulo Military Police via Storyful
