23) The Chilean Mining Accident: In 2010, 33 Unlucky Chilean Miners got Trapped when the San Jose Copper-Gold Mine Collapsed

On Aug 5th 2010, miners were working hard at the San Jose Copper-Gold Mine in Chile, a mine that is located in the Atacama Desert, 45 km/28 miles North of the capitol Copiapo in Northern Chile. The mine, which was considered unsafe, collapsed, trapping 33 miners 700 m/2,300 feet underground and 3 miles from the mine's entrance via the length of the spiraling underground ramps. They were finally unearthed after a 69 day rescue mission. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
