In northern Colombia, a 3-year-old missing for an entire day was finally found -- in a sewer, CNN reports.

Video shows the incredible rescue in Barranquilla as one man pulls the top off a sewer hole, climbs down to the boy, pulling him up by the arms and handing him to waiting rescuers.

The boy had been playing in a construction zone with his brothers when he disappeared.

He is safe and sound.
