Indian officials are racing against time to rescue a toddler who has been trapped in an 88-foot-deep well since Friday.
Sujith Wilson, who is believed to be between 2 and 3 years old, fell down the well around 5:45 p.m. Friday in the southern state of Tamil Nadu, district fire officer Puru Gandhi told CNN. Gandhi said a small camera has been lowered into the well to monitor the condition of the boy, who is breathing.
