The Chile miners

On August the fifth, 33 men from Chile were mining copper and gold but 700,000 tons of rock fell and trapped the men. The oldest person down in the mine is 63 year old Mario Gomez. The mine is 2300 feet deep.

The problem for the men is if panic attacks start. They've been down there for 68 days. If they get blood clots it won't be a nice sight and they need sun light.

The rescue capsule is 21 inches wide and is ten feet high. They needed to drill a hole down first to send food, water and supplies. The capsule takes about 20 minutes to come up and down for one person. It will take 48 hours (2 days) for the whole operation.

In conclusion we all hope the men get out safely. They will want to see there family's because of how long they've been down there. They will get lots of money from interviews.
