Chilean miners rescue race “miracle”

     The Chile mineral disaster was occurred on Aguest 5 from the San Jose Mine near Copiapo, Chile.  The Chilean government looked for these survivors. After this disaster happened 17 days, they found that 33 miners were trapped underground. Thrity-three miners writed “All of miners are very well on shelter” on a small paper. This information was began to resuce 33 miners task.
     The task was expected that the Chilean government will rescue them until December 25.  At 10:10 on Ocotober 13, they resuced the first miner. Originally, they spent an hour to resuce one person.  Until night, they finally spent 40 minutes but ultimately spent 20 minutes.  It was very successfully that they resuced them to just spend 10 weeks overground.  And finally all of miners was resuced on October 14.

 
     When they were trapped underground, they got these foods and drinking water rely on a narrow tube.  Under the ground, they had a regular schedule.  In the morning, they did some activities such as play cards, listen music & basketball live show and sing the Nationalhymne to increase their morale and slept on time at 10 o’clock p.m.  In order to enter the phoenix cabin, they kept their strength.  Finally they had be successful because of their family.


      It’s the longest days underground by 33 miners.

      “I hand the shift over to you and hope this never happens again,” the last miner out, Luis Urzua, 54, told Pinera.  Luis Urzus was the best leader during the Chile mineral disaster.  He distributed the limited of food to survive 17 days until the resuce workers contacted with them.
   
      The miracle included three-quarters of techniques and one-quarter of wonder.  These techniques such as “drill the shaft” made in America, “crane” made in China, “optical network equipment and webcam” made in Taiwan (MIT) and more.  Many nations was provided all of the best techniques in the world.

     When they resuced the seventh miner, the president of Chile, Piniella said “The rescue task is proud of our nation.  I am very excited.”  And he announced that they will build the Monument to the Chile mineral disaster.  It was display a hope for our children and grandchildrean.  The president of Chile, Pinera never gave up untill they resuced all of miners.
