Ishilove:
Who is Oliver?

Methinks the child died immediately on impact. Even if he didn't, I don't think he survived beyond the first day because of the injuries he must have sustained.

Their first child, died of heart attack two year ago.

armadeo:
Despite all odds they went all the way based on hope.

Yea, that's what makes more painful.

All the efforts, sacrifice of the government and those men working day and night.

Government spending almost #250million to rescue a common kid, ordinary citizen.

Omoluabi16:
So unfortunate, The parents must be broken. read they once had a 3yr old boy who died from heart related issues. Tragedy just seems to follow them.

Yea, two years ago.

Think they're childless now.

Blakjewelry:
I was actually hoping for the impossible. to the family take heart

That's why they called it dreaming the impossible.

The Government, police, fire fighters, Civil Guard, the whole country
all came together, prayed, worked, day and night with the Hope of finding you alive.


They never gave up on you.


So sad, Rest in Peace youngster.

God bless Spanish Government, God bless everyone for their effort.

The parents in floods of tears yesterday as they waited painfully for updates on Julen.

Rescuers found the two-year-old's body at 1.25am today.

The couple maintained hope throughout the 12-day ordeal, saying they were praying Oliver is looking down on Julen from heaven and keeping him safe.

The Civil Guard has released footage showing rescue workers trying to reach the body of a two-year-old boy who fell into a 250ft deep well nearly two weeks ago.

During the video, specialist miners work frantically to reach the body of Julen Rosello- who was found at 1.25am local time on Saturday after rescuers dug out a 13ft horizontal tunnel by hand.




The Civil Guard thanked those from all over Spain 'chasing a dream that unfortunately could not come true'.

The Spanish authorities said early Saturday that they had found the body of a 2-year-old boy who fell into a well nearly two weeks ago, bringing to a tragic end a search operation that had gripped the nation.

The toddler, Julen Roselló, was said to have slipped into an abandoned, narrow borehole on Jan. 13, while his parents were preparing lunch in the countryside near the southern port city of Málaga.

His fall set off a rescue mission that was covered around the clock by Spanish news outlets.

As the operation encountered engineering and geological obstacles, it grew to include about 300 people, including Spanish mining specialists and a Swedish company that provided the technology to help save 33 Chilean miners in 2010.

Officials had tried various routes to the toddler, whose body was trapped behind hardened soil and rock that blocked rescue workers and equipment.

A government official, Alfonso Rodríguez Gómez de Celis, said that Julen’s body was found at 1:25 a.m. Saturday.

A group of miners used a series of controlled explosions to help them excavate the last few meters of earth separating them from the child.

Over the past two weeks, rescuers worked day and night to find Julen.


Three days after Julen disappeared, the authorities confirmed that he was in the well with hair taken from excavated mud, which a preliminary DNA test found belonged to the boy.

Officials then decided to build two tunnels to reach the toddler, but one route was quickly abandoned because of the risk of landslides.

Initially, Julen’s case drew hopeful parallels with successful rescues, like the 12 boys and their soccer coach who were saved from a cave in Thailand last summer.

In Texas in 1987,18-month old Jessica McClure was rescued from a narrow well after being trapped for 58 hours.

On Saturday, Mr. Rodríguez Gómez de Celis, said at a news conference that the rescue mission had ended “with the certainty of having done everything humanly possible but with the misfortune of having reached an unwanted end.”

He said the rescue effort should serve as “a model for other emergencies,” while recognizing the scale of the unexpected problems encountered by the rescuers.

“It looked like the mountain was fighting back against each and all of the works that were being undertaken,” he said.

WHAT IS HS2 AND HOW MUCH WILL IT COST?




HS2 (High Speed 2) is a plan to construct a a new high-speed rail linking London, West Midlands, Leeds and Manchester.

The line is to be built in a 'Y' configuration. London will be on the bottom of the 'Y', Birmingham at the centre, Leeds at the top right and Manchester at the top left.

Work on Phase One began in 2017 and the government plans envisage the line being operational by 2026.

The HS2 project is being developed by High Speed Two (HS2) Ltd.

The project has a projected cost of £56 billion ($77 billion), up from the initial cost of £32.7 billion ($45 billion) in 2010.

Captain Flinders, who is also credited with giving Australia its name, is one of tens of thousands of skeletons that will be removed from the burial ground in Euston where the HS2 rail route will be built.

The discovery so early in the dig has thrilled archaeologists who were not confident they would find the explorer among the 40,000 people interred there.

Captain Matthew Flinders, the Royal Navy explorer who led the first circumnavigation of Australia and named the country, was buried under platform 15 at London Euston station, according to folklore.

But now his remains have been discovered nearby as part of the ongoing excavations for the HS2 railway.




Captain Flinders was identified among by a lead breast plate placed on top of his coffin when he was buried on July 23, 1814.

His remains were discovered at St James's Gardens burial ground and he will be reinterred with the rest of the buried population at a currently undecided location.

His headstone was lost during Euston's expansion in the 1840s, leading experts to think his remains were lost forever.

Have they been able to verify if the baby is alive and okay?

No, just hope.

goodlifehyd:
Here they know the location of the baby while Sala's case they don't. Even the voicenote he sent to his father he said if they don't hear anything from him in an hr they might not be able to locate them cuz the plane was already breaking apart from air.

On a more serious note that amount is too much to dig 30ft, an aboki just dug a 40ft well and he spent less than a week doing that and these ones spent 11days digging 30ft... Hmmmm

Digging a well is different from digging to rescue.

Here we talking about over 300ft and not 30ft.

There lots of factors to be considered, safety of the baby and workers. Keepiing those equipments/machineries working for days 247.

GOFRONT:
And they have quickly given up on Emiliano..

That is a bit different. For a plane to disappear, that's a crash.

But here, the baby's exact location can be seen.

The couple were on their honeymoon in May 2017 when Bennett allegedly deliberately sunk the catamaran they were sailing on.

He was later rescued by the Coast Guard when he was found on a life raft. Hellman's body was never found

New photos reveal how a British sailor murdered his wife while on their honeymoon in the Caribbean by intentionally sinking the small ship they were on.

British-Australian man Lewis Bennett has pleaded guilty to killing his new wife Isabella Hellman, 41, at sea and prosecutors are now seeking a maximum sentence.

Prosecutors have released photos of the damage Bennett allegedly inflicted on the ship in an effort to sink it and make Hellman's death look like a tragic accident.

The FBI have accused him of intentionally sinking the ship in a bid to inherit his wife's estate.

The horrific plot unfolded on May 15, 2017 when Bennett allegedly opened escape hatches and damaged the twin hulls of a catamaran he and Hellman were travelling on during their honeymoon.

The home of two-year-old Julen Rosello, that rescuers hope to reach after digging a tunnel.


Dozens of people have worked in shifts around the clock to rescue Julen from the shaft.

In this photo taken on Sunday, Jan. 20, 2019, drill and excavating machinery work on top of the mountain next to a deep borehole to reach a 2-year-old boy trapped there for six days near the town of Totalan in Malaga, Spain.



Heavy machinery arrives to the place where rescue teams are working around the clock to find two-year-old Julen, who has been trapped inside a well for days.

So far, the rescue bid has cost £500,000, but authorities are determined to find the young boy and bring him back to the surface.

Spanish miners and engineers have been joined by workers from a Swedish firm known for having rescued 33 Chilean miners after 69 days underground more than seven years ago.


Heavy excavation machinery used by rescue teams to gain ground to a hillside to reach the specific place where two-year-old boy Julen is believed to be trapped after falling into a 110 meters deep well, in Totalan, Malaga, southern Spain,



Children and families around Spain have been holding candlelight vigils across Spain in support of the missing toddler.

Spanish mine experts trying to save a two-year-old boy who fell down a well have completed a relief shaft and are trying to tunnel across into the youngster.

Rescuers completed the 300-ft shaft beside the original well and are now set to dig across in an effort to save the youngster.

The boy fell into the narrow well on the private estate in Totalan, southern Spain on January 13.




Two rescuers are being lowered to the bottom of the shaft in this cage before beginning the delicate task of tunnelling into the borehole and hopefully finding Julen

Rescuers have spent 11 days sinking a 300-ft shaft beside a bore hole where 2-year-old Julen fell on January 13.

It is understood the rescuers are going to use a capsule in the rescue attempt.

@explorers, has the boy been found yet?

No bro, they hit a set back drilling down to him. So they are drilling a another tunnel.

Rescuers say there's 'no hope' of finding pair and search becomes recovery operation.



Fans and supporters.

Today planes and lifeboats are again scouring the sea for the footballer and his pilot.


So far more than 1,155 square miles have been covered in the search for the missing aircraft.

The pilot missing with footballer Emiliano Sala has today been named as a British father-of-three and gas engineer from Scunthorpe.


David Ibbotson, 60, was reportedly at the controls of the privately-owned Piper Malibu aircraft believed to have crashed into the sea near Alderney on Monday night.

The pilot, whose nickname is 'Dibbo', is married with three children and lives with his wife Nora near Scunthorpe, Lincolnshire, and according to his Facebook account he checked into a hotel next to Nantes Airport on Saturday night.

He is an experienced pilot specialising in private flights and parachute expeditions but also is a qualified gas engineer running his own boiler repair company in North Lincolnshire.





This is the plane that Sala and the pilot were in when in vanished over the sea it appears to be registered to a company in Norfolk.
