I believe there was 32 miners.
The 33 miners from Chile were stuck underground for 69 days before they were rescued on October 13, 2010.
More than 2,000 feet; nearly 700m underground.
The Chilean coal miners were trapped underground for 69 days before being rescued.
To mine things....
In New York
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.
