Urgent! Copiapó. The 33 miners trapped at a depth of 700 meters underground in a mine in the North of Chile have all survived; they have been trapped for 17 days deep underground, the crews drilled probes in the 10b shaft, and succeeded in sending down a probe deep into the collapsed mine which came back with a historic handwritten note, a message from the miners saying ”all 33 of us are safe inside the shelter”. The Hope camp (name given by the miner’s relatives) is filled with joy and excitement. The relatives are overjoyed; they hug one another and cry. The news spreads like wildfire. The physical rescue might take more than 100 days, but now starts the process of sending them food to keep them alive until the day of the final rescue. UNI americas shares the happiness and joy of the Chilean people and especially the miners’ relatives who have been an example of hope and courage nobody will ever forget.
