First Miner to be pulled out of Chilean Mine



      On August 5th, The San Jose mine in Cuba, producing copper and gold, collapsed leaving thirty-three men unaccounted for. Trapped under half a mile of rock for more than two months, they managed to survive on their own with barely any resources. On October 10, 2010, the first man of many was rescued out of the trench. After seventeen days of drilling, rescuers made contact. The discovery of all thirty-men, fully alive and intact, captivated the world.
