33 Miners Trapped in Chilly Mine for 69 Days: What Happened? #M…

On August 5, 2010, a cave-in at the San Jose gold and copper mine in Chile trapped 33 miners underground. The miners were trapped for 69 days, which is the longest recorded time that humans have survived underground after a mine collapse. The miners survived by rationing their food and water, and by working together to build a makeshift shelter. They also communicated with the outside world through a small bore hole that was drilled down to their location. On October 13, 2010, the miners were rescued in a daring and unprecedented operation. The rescue involved drilling a 700-meter shaft down to the miners' location, and then using a specially designed capsule to bring them to the surface one by one. The rescue of the 33 Chilean miners was a global news story, and it captivated people all over the world. It was a story of hope, resilience, and the human spirit. #chile, #miners, #rescue, #33 miners trapped in chile
