They were initially trapped on August 5, 2010 when the mine they were working in experienced a serious cave-in.
For 17 days no one knew if they were even alive. Rescue workers drilled holes in an attempt to find survivors, and were thrilled to receive a note indicating that all 33 men were fine.
The men were rescued on October 13, 2010, after 69 days underground.
