Drill Reaches Trapped Miners in Chile
 

SAN JOSÉ MINE, Chile ? A drill has broken through and reached the 33 miners trapped nearly a half a mile below underground for more than two months, Chilean officials announced Saturday morning amid celebratory bells. A powerful drill, twisting and pounding its way through the abrasive volcanic rock, completed a rescue hole for the miners to be hauled to the surface, according to Chile?s mining minister. But a rescue would still be days away, and officials here warned that the operation was entering its most dangerous phase. Every decision, they said, carried a risk that the inspiring story consuming the Chilean government and captivating the world could quickly turn toward disaster.

Good news. :)

How long before the movie is out ??

2 months? What the hell are they eating down there?

I don't know, but the guy in your avatar doesn't look like he's been eating enough either.

i believe they had a safe house with food and water

good for poor minners

They have been sending food, water and other stuff down a vent shaft. I think thats how they have been getting the videos of them

I read this earlier this morning. Holy shit this is amazing!

Wow, 2 months without sunshine? Wait, I did that.

I hope they are getting paid 'overtime' for this.. :)

:2 cents::2 cents: Finally something worthwhile coming out of you.

I saw in a video interview they are sending food down a small pipe that is just wide enough to fit a small bottle of water.

That was this years tragic news, im so glad that they have drilled through to them... Nice one for the great news!



Dont talk, you stink :)
