The amazing story of 33 miners rescued from the San Jose copper-gold mine near Copiapo, Chile, captured the hearts of millions around the world since the mine workings around them collapsed on Aug. 5, leaving them stranded 631 metres (2,070 ft.) underground After 69 days underground, the men emerged in great shape considering the circumstances, walking confidently, smiling their biggest smiles and hugging tearful family members. Until Oct. 12, no one in a modem mining scenario had ever been trapped underground for so long and emerged alive.
