After the San José mine collapsed in northern Chile on August 5, 2010, rescue crews drilled numerous exploratory holes in an effort to locate the miners, a difficult task because available maps of the mine were outdated. On August 22, 17 days after the collapse, a drill reached the area where the men had taken shelter. When the drill was pulled back up, a handwritten note attached to it announced that all 33 were alive.
