Timeline

1957

Paramedic Robert O'Donnell (August 27, 1957 – April 27, 1995) developed post-traumatic stress disorder after the rescue.

He died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

1986

Jessica McClure Morales (born March 26, 1986; widely known as "Baby Jessica" in 1987 ) fell into a well in her aunt's backyard in Midland, Texas, on October 14, 1987, at the age of 18 months.

Over the next 56 hours, rescuers worked to free her from the 8 in well casing, about 22 ft below grade.

The story garnered worldwide attention.

1987

Following McClure's rescue on October 16, 1987, doctors feared they would have to amputate Jessica's foot due to damage from loss of blood flow sustained from her leg being elevated above her head for the 58 and a half hours she was stuck in the well.

They decided to try hyperbaric therapy in an attempt to avoid full amputation.

In the end, surgeons only had to amputate a toe due to gangrene caused by loss of circulation while she was in the well.

Jessica carries a scar on her forehead where her head rubbed against the well casing and, despite the incident and 15 subsequent related surgeries, retains no first-hand memory of the events.

1988

In 1988, McClure and her parents appeared on Live with Regis and Kathie Lee to talk about the incident.

A photograph of McClure's rescue by Scott Shaw of the Odessa American received the 1988 Pulitzer Prize for Spot News Photography.

1989

A 1989 ABC television movie was made about the events: Everybody's Baby: The Rescue of Jessica McClure.

The incident occurred in Midland, Texas, where firemen and police developed a plan to drill a parallel shaft to the well where Jessica was lodged—and drill another horizontal cross-tunnel to rescue her.

Enlisting the help of local oil drillers, officials hoped to free McClure quickly.

But they then discovered that the well was surrounded by rock.

The rescuers' jackhammers were also inadequate, as they were designed for downward rather than horizontal drilling.

A mining engineer eventually arrived to help supervise and coordinate the rescue effort, and a relatively new technology, waterjet cutting, was ultimately used to cut through the rock.

Forty-five hours after Jessica fell into the well, the adjacent shaft and cross-tunnel were complete.

During the drilling, rescuers could hear Jessica singing "Winnie the Pooh."

A roofing contractor, Ron Short, volunteered to go down the shaft.

He had been born without collarbones and could collapse his shoulders to work in tight confines.

The team considered his offer, but paramedic Robert O'Donnell was ultimately able to inch his way into the tunnel, wrestle Jessica free from her position pinned inside the well with one leg above her forehead—and hand her to a fellow paramedic, who carried her up to safety before giving her to another paramedic who carried her to a waiting ambulance.

CNN covered the rescue effort.

Then-President Ronald Reagan said, "Everybody in America became godmothers and godfathers of Jessica while this was going on."

Throughout the incident, local media outlet KMID-TV received calls from news organizations and private individuals globally, seeking the latest information.

ABC made a television movie of the story in 1989, Everybody's Baby: The Rescue of Jessica McClure, starring Beau Bridges and Patty Duke and featuring many participants from the actual rescue as extras.
