Miners in Chile brought to Surface at last

For more than two and a half months, 33 miners in Chile have been trapped underground.On August 5th the mine had collapsed and the miners were feared to be dead. However on August 22nd the mines sent a note above ground saying that they were alive and waiting for rescue.So on Wednesday night shortly after midnight, the first miner was brought back above land after 69 days without sunlight.Throughout the disaster the men kept good spirits and showed excellent strength. In fact, when the miners were informed that they would soon be rescued then asked if they could be given shoe polish and shampoo so they would look presentable. These 33 men have survived longer then any other person who had been in similar circumstances. It is truly a miracle that all of the men survived and are all in adequate health.
