The Chilean coal miners were trapped underground for 69 days before being rescued.
The collapse of the mine was supposedly caused by an earthquake.
the chilean miners were fed 2 tablespoons of tuna and some milk PER DAY.
More than 2,000 feet; nearly 700m underground.
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.
