| Thirty-three miners have been trapped deep below the surface of the earth for weeks following the collapse of the San José copper mine in Chile. While one borehole has finally reached the trapped workers, rescuers estimate that it could be weeks or even months before the hole is wide enough to allow the miners to return to the surface. We'll talk about the tools and techniques being used in the rescue efforts. |
