7th Task Chilean Miners, San Jose Issue

It was a very sad day in August when we were all shocked and surprised by the accident that 33 chilean miners had had at the San Jose Mine.

For quite a time nobody knew if they were alive or dead, nor where they were located and how deep were they.

They spent 68 days under 700 meters and finally they were rescued one by one...
