Toddler, Coach Rescued from Louisville Cistern
The crowd applauded as Louisville technical rescue team members hoisted the two out of the hole.
A Louisville technical rescue team responded to a football field Thursday evening. But, it had nothing to do with the game.
A two-year-old girl fell into an abandoned cistern as she ran on the grass. A coach eased himself down into the 18-foot hole realizing he too may need help getting out, according to WDRB.
