Rescuers have been desperately trying to save a 10-year-old boy in Vietnam who fell into a narrow land cavity three days ago. On New Year's eve, Ly Hao Nam, the 10-year-old boy, fell into the open shaft of a concrete pile at a construction site.&nbsp;

Shortly after Ly fell into the pile on a Saturday morning, he started crying for help. But as rescuers lowered their cameras into the 35-metre-long support pillar to locate his position on Monday, they did not receive any response from him.

The incident occurred in the Mekong delta province at a bridge construction site, AFP news agency reported. The reports say that before the boy fell into the pit, he searched for scrap iron to play with his friends.
