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.
