Gabi Weinberger, the father who fell into the pit with his little daughter and got stuck in it, returned today (Tuesday) for the stressful event.
"My daughter fell, and I ran down quickly, into the pit," he recounted.
"I went down the ladder, reached for her and saw that she had landed on Jerichos in a good way and that her condition was just fine."
"I tried to lift it up with the ladder and it collapsed. I was thrown on the wall, I fell down and lucky I was hit by the blow of the fall," he recalled.
"We were down again, but we saw we were fine."
Realizing he was stuck, he asked his son who was upstairs to help rescue them.
"My son was stressed. I told him to go look for people nearby, but he kept saying he could not find one. I made him a motivational call, to be like the rescue unit and Sammy the firefighter and find people to come and help."
Thanks to the conversation, the boy went out searching again and returned with a man who assisted in their rescue.
According to the father, his condition and the condition of his daughter are good, but she is suffering from a mild crisis.
The ladder collapsed and they fell.
Rescue documentation on Saturday (Photo: Official website, Walla system!)
Documentation from the rescue showed the father and daughter lying on a stretcher of rescue crews and connected by cables with which they were pulled to the ground at the end of hours of effort.
The two have a helmet on their heads and are secured by firefighters to ensure their safe rescue from the well.
The incident occurred when the family members, a father, his daughter and his son, residents of Pardes Hanna, went on a nature walk on Saturday afternoon when suddenly the four-year-old climbed the well and fell.
The father climbed after her, and began to descend on an iron ladder installed in the well.
He managed to reach it and picked it up in his arms and started climbing up, but the ladder was rusty and during the ascent, about half the height, the rusty iron ladder broke and he too fell inside without being able to climb back.
