Heroic tale? The miners argued about who will be the last miner to go out the mine because that miner will be the person that most survived in a mine.
The president get a lot of publicity thanks at that accident, but he requested if the rescue could be delayed because he's got a travel.
The miners now are rich or, if they aren't, they'll be soon.

Amazing news. A group of 33 chilean miners have survived traped deep underground during more than two months.
An astonishing and expensive work have been made for save them but it worth because they can save all the people without any problem, except the long time that they have taken.
They have achieved mantaining sanity during a lot of time without watch them familys and do a normal live.
The miners and their familys are obviously happy that all have finished well.

The best news of this month! The 33 miners that were trapped in a mine, have been rescued succefully. They were trapped more than 2 months. But now, with the new technologies, they have been rescued. They've been rescued with the new pheonix capsule. The capsule is 53 centimeters wite and 4 meters high. The capsule takes 10 minutes to descend the 622 meters. First has descended a expert life guard. Then have descended two doctors and another life guard. Then for every miner the rescue lasted 33 minutes. When the miners left, they were recived by families, friends, periodists and the president. This day won't be forget.

I heard this news in summer, is a catastrophic accident. Well this news are very good. The 33 trapped deep underground in northern Chile have been rescued. Have some wounds, but this health is better than thought. They have trapped 70 days in this mine, thanks to science, they built a ''Phoenix'' capsule, he allow transport the miners since undergound since outdoor. In this moment the miners has been with families and recovered her health.
I hope this accident didn't happen again, but is a miracle the miners have survived.

On August 5, 2010, there was an accident in northern of Chile (Atacama) where 33 miners were trapped in the mine "Sant José" to over 700 meters deep for 68 days. Men of different professions and ages between 19 and 63 years fought difficulties fighting underground. The rescue was on October 12, the protagonists of the rescue were Schramm T-130, a drill that it could reach the miners, and capsules Fenix which moved up the miners to the surface. The miners were taken to hospital although they were in good condition, only they had problems in the teeth.

It is the catastrophic history of Chilean miners an August 5 trapped in a mine. It looks like a movie story but it is real. They lived for 70 days in a mine to be rescued. The miners are not sick only one who has pneumony but not serious. This experience is terrifying. This experience is very hard not only to miners but also for the family that suffers. I don't know if I could survive under these circumstances. Being trapped for 70 days is a situation of importance and incredible mental capacity. I admire the miners and rescuers course risking their lives for them. I'm very happy because the rescue and all are alive.

During more of two months, the miners of Chile were caught underground.
To top, the whole world thought they were dead, but the rescue teams they managed to contact them.
From this day, the technical personnel were working to obtain a so called machine " The Capsule Phoenix " with that they could rescue the miners.
Finally, thanks to this machine, all the miners were rescued and once free they met his relatives, but the majoria diseases.
I think the miners were very brave.
