Five kids had to be rescued by firefighters after entering a storm drain.
FDNY describes the dramatic events that went into rescuing five children lost in a storm drain on Staten Island. Darla Miles has the story."We're stuck in the sewer" isn't exactly how one expects to spend time after school.
On Tuesday, that seemingly became the reality for a group of 11- and 12-year-olds, who entered the sewer drain in the West Brighton section of Staten Island and got lost in the tunnel., the NYPD ESU and FDNY received a call around 6 p.m. from a group of five kids who entered the drain and got lost in the tunnel.
"They were nervous. I think they got to the point where they were nervous if they were ever going to find their way out," said FDNY firefighter John Loennecker.Confirming their location, though, was a difficult task."The last drain I opened on Clove is when I could hear them clearly and what they were saying," said Loennecker.
The boys were rescued by first responders and firefighters and taken to Richmond University Medical Center as a precaution.According to FDNY Chief of Department John Hodgens, the cell phone used to call 911 and the spotlight on the phone was crucial in their rescue efforts. "Amazing that the cell phone worked in the tunnel," he said. "That was a key component of us finding them."
