Julen Roselló García, a two-year-old Spanish boy, fell 70 m (230 ft) into a narrow shaft near Totalán in Málaga, on January 13, 2019. The shaft, illegally excavated, was 110 m (360 ft) deep and had a diameter of 25 cm (9.8 in). To carry out a rescue, it was necessary to drill a parallel conduit of a greater diameter, in an operation in which more than 300 people intervened, plus numerous heavy machinery. The operation received international media coverage. After several setbacks during drilling, on 26 January at 1:25am, Roselló's body was found between two layers of earth.
