How many days have the 33 miners from Chile been stuck underground?

70 days.

Bad things about mining?

There can be disasters, like the Chilean Mining Disaster. The men were mining in the San Hose gold and copper mine, the tunnel caved in and the men got stuck for 69 days. People have to be very careful of mining cause they can die from these disasters such as explosions and caving in.


How far below the surface are the chilean miners trapped?

They are nearly 625 meters below the surface with some of the toughest, hardest rock in the world between them and daylight. The escape hole was completed on Saturday the 10/10/10 (John Lennon's 70th Birthday) with much of the credit going to the skill of a 40 year old American, Jeff Hart."After the cave-in, engineers initially bored narrow shafts the width of a grapefruit to locate the men.When they were found 17 days after the accident, all still alive, celebrations sprang up across Chile. Rescuers then passed high-energy gels, water and food down the narrow ducts to keep the miners alive".


How long were the Chilean miners trapped underground before they were discovered to be alive?

The mine in Chile's Atacama Desert collapsed on August 5, trapping 33 miners within. It was only on August 22, 17 days later, that contact was made with them. Before this, the longest time spent underground by survivors of a mine collapse was 25 days. That's how long survivors were trapped in 2009, in a flooded mine in southern China. They survived for those first two and a half weeks on food and water rations that were in the shaft that sheltered them. Since the supplies there were only enough to last for 48 hours, they were severely rationing the amounts taken each day by each of the men. Each man was allowed two spoons of tuna, one half biscuit and a half cup of milk every two days. They have already lost more than 20 pounds (9 kilograms) each.
