Rescuers Pull All 33 Miners to Safety in Chile
Two months, nine days and eight hours after their
excruciating ordeal began, the last of the 33 miners trapped
in an apartment-sized hole a half mile under Chile was
delivered safely to the earth's surface, capping one of the
most dramatic survival stories in mining history.
With the entire nation rapt and much of the world riveted,
the last miner, Luis Urzua, rose smoothly out of the small
hole in the ground, prompting an eruption of applause and
cheers that seemed just as heartfelt as the outpouring that
followed the emergence of the first miner nearly a day
earlier.
