After the cave-in, the miners were living in a specific part of the cave. Think of it as a "home-base" underground.
Once rescue workers discovered that the men were alive and doing well, they dug small holes from the surface to the home-base. These tubes were used to deliver food, water, medical supplies and other necessities.
In the meantime, rescuers worked on digging a larger hole that would reach the miners. A special capsule was built that could travel up and down this hole. When it was ready, the capsule was intended to bring the miners up to the surface, one man at a time.
After much testing, the plan was put into action on October 13. In less than 24-hours, all 33 men were brought up to safety. Onlookers cheered as each person was let out of the capsule and given a moment to hug their loved ones and rescuers.
