86-Year-Old Rescued From 4-Meter Well Inside Her Rosario Home

A neighbor's call set off a rope rescue using a pulley-style mechanical advantage system.

Overview

  • Emergency teams in Rosario pulled the woman from a roughly 4-meter-deep well inside her house after a neighbor raised the alarm.
  • Police and city firefighters entered the Ludueña residence on Camilo Aldao al 100 bis and found the front door open.
  • A rescuer descended to provide first aid as the crew set up a rope-and-pulley system that multiplies lifting force to bring her up.
  • SIES medics stabilized her at the scene and transferred her first to PAMI II and then to a hospital in the city’s north, with no detailed condition released.
  • The operation lasted about an hour and highlights the danger older residents face from unprotected pits or access shafts in homes.
