In Chile on august 5th 33 male adults (oldest 63 Mario Gomez) mining for copper & gold were eating their lunch in a cave when rocks weighing approximately 70,000 tons came tumbling down trapping them in their coffin.
The thing that the rescuers worry about the most is panic attacks & blood clots. Since the miners have been trapped for 2 months with no sunlight the miners have to wear special sunglasses to protect their eyes when they get out.
The rescue is underway, they start by drilling a shaft for the capsule (10 ft tall,21 inches wide) to drop down. The rescuers have put a video camera in the capsule thats gonna be fixed on their eyes so they can tell/see signs of panic attacks. The miners are estimated 2300 feet underground so it will take about 48 hours to get all miners out.
(In conclusion) i'm sure it will be a relief when they get out, everyone wishes families good luck
and all we can do is hope this will work smoothly. They are sure to get lots of money when their free.
On Thursday the 14th at about 3:00 clock all the miners were out.

ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome report, Tyrone! It is very well written and very informative. Even though I have been hearing a little bit about this terrifying event. I also really like how you updated your report on the 14th.
