How many of you remember the story of 18 month old Jessica McClure Morales that fell into a well in Texas on October 14, 1987? I remember watching the rescue attempt on tv.I was 11 years old and it was such a big thing. My mother had it on throughout the whole rescue. What a story. It started bad and ended great thankfully.

She was only 18 months when she fell into the well. Im assuming she was tiny in size considering her age.

That was some crazy incident.

Yes that was some ordeal for her and her parents.
