1:13:07
We interrupt this program...
1:13:08
to bring you
a special news bulletin.
1:13:10
Emergency workers
and laborers...
1:13:11
outside Strasberg,
Pennsylvania...
1:13:14
are working diligently
to locate and remove...
1:13:16
an 8-year-old girl
who has fallen down a well.
1:13:20
Polly Phelps fell down the well
while playing with friends...
1:13:23
and has been lodged at
the bottom since 12 noon.
1:13:26
Reports will be coming
to you live on the spot...
1:13:29
where this tense drama
is unfolding.
1:13:31
We don't know if
the girl is still living...
1:13:34
although authorities
are predicting...
1:13:36
they will rescue the child
within moments.
1:13:39
It has been 7 hours, and still
emergency workers have not...
1:13:42
been able to contact or free
8-year-old Polly Phelps.
1:13:46
Attempts to go down
into the well...
1:13:56
Can you hear me? Polly!
1:13:59
Can you hear anything?
1:14:01
Get the press back!
1:14:06
Polly, honey! We're coming
for you, just hold on!
1:14:10
Be careful with that thing!
1:14:17
Meanwhile, members of the press
are out here in abundance.
1:14:20
And this field is illuminated
by the eerie incandescence...
1:14:24
of searchlights
and flash bulbs.
1:14:26
The anxious parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Phelps, stand by waiting...
1:14:30
hoping for some word, some sign.
1:14:34
We'll continue
to broadcast live...
1:14:35
from the scene of
the accident...
1:14:37
and bring you details
as they unfold.
1:14:39
I'm sure all Americans listening
to their radios everywhere...
1:14:43
are praying for Polly Phelps
and the Phelps family.
1:14:59
Please, God, don't let her die.
