Jessie Hernandez fell into a sewer that was 25 feet down. It was known that the boy and some family members of his age were hunting for Easter eggs when they came across a sewer entry that was just covered with wood. They stepped over it and Jessie fell right through the wood.

After 12 hours of looking and seeing where all the sewers were leading to, fire fighters managed to find Jessie alive and talking.

They narrowed down to two main water pipes where he might have gone through and they soon found  him standing on one of the downfalls of the pipe where there happens to be a block of concrete.

After he was safe above ground firefighters provided him with a cell phone to reassure his family of his safety. Right after that, he was sent to the hospital for medical attention and for decontamination.
