On August 5, 2010, a collapse at the San José gold and copper mine in northern Chile trapped 33 workers about 2,300 feet (700 meters) below the surface. For more than two weeks, rescuers did not know whether the men had survived. All 33 were eventually located and, after 69 days underground, safely rescued on October 13.
