Informant/ Over there, under the manhole
The informant points at
the sewer under the manhole cover?
Informant/ I heard a cat crying which sounded like almost dying..
PD/ Under the manhole? / Yes
When was that?
About 2 months ago..
A cat crying over 70 days?
Informant/ I put the cat food in the plastic bag
Found the bag was left empty
Have you seen the cat eating it?
Not yet
Is it really a cat trapped inside the sewer?
Put the camera inside to check
Whether the cat is alive or not can be confirmed by checking the plastic bag
Resident/ A cat can't live in such place like this
Must live somewhere else..
It's a miracle if the cat's survived for 2 months
Resident/ It's impossible to live inside there..
The informant, hasn't seen the cat yet though, couldn't forget the cat's crying..
That's why she's been dropping the food bag through the hole of the cover
PD/ Have you fed the cat for 2 months? / Yes
The cat could have nothing to eat if you didn't drop the food
Yeah, that's true
Hope the cat could survive one more day
Next morning
Check if the cat ate the food
PD/ Guess it's empty
The food is gone!
The bag is empty!
Pretty sure that the cat lives inside the sewer
The cat's crying sound stopped for 2 days
Install the cameras both outside and inside of the sewer
Assistant/ A cat goes up, over there!
A strange cat watches out
As if feeling anxious, the cat looks under the manhole
The cat cries near the manhole which is 10 meters away from the other one
where the lady has dropped the food
Where this cat came from?
Upon sensing the movement, the cat leaves
Carefully approaches where the cat was
PD/ I can hear it
Hurriedly put micro-camera inside
Deep down the sewer..
Spot shining eyes!
It was a cat!!!
Over 70 days, the cat has lived off the food from the plastic bag
in deep down the sewer..
Soon after, the cat disappears
Suddenly, it started to pour
As it pours harder
The cat living deep down the sewer will get in serious danger
Omg, it's worse here! Look at the water..
The rainwater coming down from the mountain
Quickly fills the sewer..
The cat isn't swept by the water yet, right? / I don't think so
The rescue won't be easy especially when the rain pours..
All we can do is wish the cat to be safe in somewhere..
The next morning, the rain stopped
Figure out the cat's whereabouts
The empty manhole..
Seems like the rainwater swept the plastic bag as well
The sewer on the upper side where the cat was seen
is full of water
Put the micro-camera again to look inside
After a while..
Two eyes are shining from a distance
The cat showed up, crying at the same time
Must be scared and frightened..
Poor cat..
The structure of the sewer was more complicated than expected
The sewer system installed near the mountain area has open sewer pipes
Which means that the sewer is opened up
I think the cat went inside through the open hole on the street
The cat is likely to fell to the open hole of the sewer
which is also connected to the sewer on the mountain
Officer/ Due to the step pulley located in between the sewer pipes
It's impossible for the cat to get out of it
Unless people go inside and rescue the cat
The cat is trapped in the sewer where it's impossible to escape..
If the lady didn't give him food every day..
The cat couldn't have survived for 70 days
But how long can he survive..?
Need to rescue the cat in no time
First off, look inside the sewer
Surprisingly
There's a huge space in the middle
Full of plastic bags from the informant
The cat's pawprints..
The cat can only access to
The upper sewer pipe
or the other pipe located lower than the other
But the cat is not seen at all
The rescue team blocks the pipe first after they confirmed that the cat isn't there
Search for the cat at the lower sewer pipe
Officer/ It's a robot camera to investigate the inside of the sewer
The robot goes inside the sewer, where humans can't go around,
to spot the location of the cat and his travel route
After a while..
Found the cat!
Upon approaching closely..
PD/ The cat is out! He's out already
PD/ Oh no, the cat went into the pipe
The manhole on the upper side is still filled with water
The cat is trapped..
Informant/ Hey.. Look..!
Try to soothe him
Meanwhile, the rescue resumes inside the sewer
The cat gotta stay calm
to rescue him more easily..
There's not enough time to rescue the cat
As expected,
It's not easy to rescue the cat who's become very sensitive
Rescuer/ Give me a net!
Finally
The cat is rescued!
The cat could finally get out of the sewer after 70 days
Informant/ It's good that the cat isn't not that skinny
Anyway, it's grateful that he's healthy
Thank god that he's rescued
Now I can sleep well
It's already a miracle that he survived inside the dark the sewer for 70 days
The cat undergoes medical checkup
Carefully examine his condition
Takes nourishing supplements..
How's his condition?
Vet/ Since he's lived in dark and humid environment, he could've suffered from infiltration of the lungs
But the size of the lungs and kidney is all normal, and both are okay
I think he could survive as he's been fed well
But just one thing..
As he had to live in a closed space with extreme fear
It'll take long for him to open his mind to people
Informant/ The cat looks at my eyes
Do you know how much I worried about you..
For this cat who made his first step towards the world..
Hope another miracle awaits him!
