In this episode, we revisit the riveting tale of Jessica McClure Morales, famously known as "Baby Jessica," who, at just 18 months old, fell into a well in Midland, Texas, in 1987.

Over 56 tense hours, rescuers battled to free Jessica from the 8-inch well casing, employing innovative waterjet cutting technology. Amid drilling, the world listened as Jessica sang "Winnie the Pooh" from her precarious position.

Media frenzy ensued, with CNN covering the global outpouring of support. President Ronald Reagan even declared the nation as Jessica's collective godparents. Photographer Scott Shaw received a Pulitzer for the iconic image capturing her rescue.

The aftermath revealed Jessica's resilience, facing potential amputation but emerging with only a toe lost. Yet, the impact lingered, with paramedic Robert O'Donnell tragically succumbing to PTSD.

This brief episode encapsulates the highs and lows, from the triumphant rescue to the personal struggles faced by those involved. Join us as we revisit the unforgettable events and the enduring impact on Baby Jessica and her rescuers.
