they were mining for gold and the ground caved in but they eventually survived without any water, food or taking a shower.
The chilean miners have been stuck undergorund for 69 days
August 15
The biggest rescue operation in the world is often considered to be the 2010 Chilean mining accident, where 33 miners were trapped underground for 69 days. The operation, known as "Operación San Lorenzo," involved drilling a borehole to reach the miners and was supported by multiple countries, resulting in the successful rescue of all trapped miners. The event captured global attention and showcased international cooperation in emergency response efforts.
The miners in Chile were trapped underground due to a cave-in at the San José copper-gold mine. The collapse blocked the exit and trapped the miners about 2,300 feet below the surface. Efforts were made to rescue them, resulting in their eventual successful extraction after 69 days.
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".
