Chile miners after being stuck nearly half a mile below the surface in a collapse that happened on the 5th of august have finally been brought back to the surface.
Rescuers had to drill a 6inch wide hole into the shelter where all 33 of the miners have managed to stay safe in which became the lifeline for the miners of supplies and fresh air.
The picture above is from the Sky News website, and shows the flags which family and friends put up at the site where the miners were underground. 33 of them were erected for each of the miners who were stuck.
I recently went to watch the film Buried, with Ryan Reynolds. he gets captured and wakes up in a box underground as small as a coffin, by people in iraq who will only let him out if they get 5 nillion. Hes left in the box thats been buried in the dessert with a phone which happens to be a Blackberry, a torch, a lighter, a knife and what he had in his pockets at the time his anxiety pills and a little bottle of water.
This for anyone is there worst nightmare, being buried alive and these miners were lucky to have alot of people helping to get them out even Nasa who provided the capsule in which the men came up to the surface with.
