Crying was coming from a storm drain in Newlands East, near Durban, South Africa.
This is how they found her. No one knew that down there, more than seven meters deep, there was a newborn baby.
Someone had left her inside a stormwater pipe. She was only hours old.
A neighbor heard the crying coming from the drain opening and called emergency services. Dozens of rescuers arrived.
They dug a trench by hand. They shored up the dirt walls so they would not collapse. Some neighbors ran home and returned with kitchen cabinet doors to reinforce the hole.
Using a chisel and hammer, they broke through the concrete pipe, centimeter by centimeter, for nearly four hours.
Garrith Jamieson, of Rescue Care Paramedics, led the operation. No one left until they got her out.
They airlifted her to Inkosi Albert Luthuli Hospital. She had only mild hypothermia and a few scrapes.
Dr. Sibongiseni Dhlomo, a regional health official, put it this way: it was a miracle.
Police opened an investigation into attempted murder. To this day, no one knows who left her there.
Someone abandoned her underground. Others, without knowing her, refused to let her die.
