When the capsule reached the top, burst into the tent for family and friends a loud cheers. Na omhelzingen door vrouw en kind werd Avalos naar een noodhospitaal gebracht voor onderzoek. After hugs from his wife and child to an emergency hospital was Avalos for investigation. President President De Chileense president Piñera is ook aanwezig om de kompels op te vangen. Pinera, the Chilean president was also present for the miners to catch. Ze hebben getoond "dat Chili grote dingen kan bereiken als het zich bij tegenspoed verenigt", zei hij.

The rescue of 33 miners who have been imprisoned since August 5 San Jose in the collapsed mine in Chile runs smoothly so far. Zo'n beetje ieder uur -soms zelfs om de dertig minuten- wordt een mijnwerker naar boven gehaald. Pretty much every hour, sometimes every thirty minutes, a miner is brought to the surface. Intussen zijn de meeste kompels gered. Meanwhile, most miners rescued. De allereerste die boven kwam was Florencio Avalos, de 31-jarige tweede voorman van de kompels. The first that came up was Florencio Avalos, the 31-year-old second leader of the miners. Hij glimlachte breeduit en omhelsde zijn 7-jarige zoon en zijn vrouw. He smiled and hugged his sprawling 7-year-old son and his wife. Ook omhelsde hij de Chileense president Sebastian Piñera en de reddingswerkers. He also embraced the Chilean president Sebastian Pinera and the rescuers. Een vrijwel zelfde tafereel volgde bij de volgende kompels die naar boven kwamen. An almost similar scene followed in the next miners that surfaced. Telkens wanneer de reddingscapsule met weer een kompel uit de smalle schacht naar boven kwam, begonnen omstanders te juichen, klappen en schreeuwen. Whenever the weather escape pod with a narrow shaft of the miners came up, bystanders began to cheer, clap and shout. De mijnwerkers oogden allen rustig en tegelijkertijd vrolijk. The miners looked all calm and happy at the same time. Mario Sepulveda Espina, die een klein uur na Avalos als tweede naar boven kwam, was het uitbundigst ...

The extended rescue mission to haul the 33 Chilean miners trapped for over 2 months underground has gone smoothly with a dozen already transported to the surface. They have been met by media, family and friends with cheers and tears. The miners are being brought above ground one at a time in a rescue capsule, with the youngest and healthiest being brought up first in the case of an emergency during which the miner would need to perform a manual procedure to free the rescue capsule. The journey from the collapsed San Jose mine to the surface takes approximately 15 minutes. In preparation for the rescue, the miners, who have not seen direct sunlight since August 5th, have been equipped with sunglasses to protect their retinas, special apparel to prevent skin infections and athlete's foot as well as vaccines. As a precaution, however, the miners will be observed for a couple days in a hospital for health issues. Health officials will also be closely watching them for signs of mental stress, such as panic attacks and claustrophobia. The rescue process is scheduled to be completed by midnight tomorrow.

SAN JOSE MINE, Chile -- The miners emerged like clockwork, jubilantly embracing wives, children and rescuers and looking remarkably composed Wednesday after languishing for 69 days in the depths of a mine that easily could have been their tomb. The anxiety that had accompanied the final days of preparation melted away at 12:11 am when the stoutest of the 33 miners, Florencio Avalos, emerged from the missile-like rescue capsule smiling broadly after his half-mile journey to the surface. In a din of cheers, he hugged his sobbing 7-year-old son and wife and then President Sebastian Pinera, who has been deeply involved in an effort that had become a matter of national pride. The most ebullient of the bunch came out second, an hour later. "I think I had extraordinary luck. I was with God and with the devil. And I reached out for God," said Mario Sepulveda as he awaited the air force helicopter ride to a nearby hospital where all the miners were to spend 48 hours under medical observation.

Miners trapped for more than two months deep underground in northern Chile were greeted with hugs, cheers and tears today as they were pulled to the surface one by one by rescuers using a missile-like escape capsule. Seven men were winched up in the first seven hours of the apparently problem-free operation in the Chile's Atacama desert. A total of 33 men have been trapped for 69 days in the collapsed mine a half-mile underground. First out was Florencio Avalos, who wore sunglasses to protect him from the glare of bright lights. He smiled broadly as he emerged and hugged his sobbing seven-year-old son, Bairon, and wife, then got a bearhug from Chilean President Sebastian Pinera shortly after midnight local time. A second miner, Mario Sepulveda Espina, was pulled to the surface about an hour later - his shouts heard even before the capsule surfaced. After hugging his wife, Elvira, he jubilantly handed souvenir rocks from his underground prison nearly 2300 feet (700 metres) below to laughing rescuers. Then he jumped up and down as if to prove his strength before the medical team took him to a triage unit. "I think I had extraordinary luck. ... I was with God and with the devil - and God took me," Sepulveda said later in a special interview room set up by the government. He praised the rescue operation, saying: "It's incredible that they saved us from 700 metres below." A third Chilean miner, Juan Illanes, was rescued after another hour. The lone Bolivian, Carlos Mamani, was ...

www.timesofearth.com - The first five of 33 miners trapped underground for more than two months in northern Chile have been winched to the surface amid scenes of jubilation. SAN JOSE MINE, Chile — After more than two months underground, the first few miners have emerged from the collapsed Chilean copper mine in the Atacama desert to the excitement and relief of waiting family and friends. The scene was one of tears and elation on Wednesday as rescue teams worked to lift the first five of 33 miners to the surface one-by-one in a narrow, missile-like capsule, nicknamed "Phoenix". Florencio Avalos, a 31-year-old driver, was the first miner to be rescued - chosen because he was considered among the most physically and mentally fit of the group. He smiled broadly as he emerged and hugged his sobbing 7-year-old son and wife. He then embraced Sebastian Pinera, the president, who is at the scene overseeing the rescue operation. Mario Sepulveda, a 39-year-old electrical specialist, was the second to reach the surface. After hugging his wife, he jubilantly handed souvenir rocks to laughing rescuers. "I'm so happy!" Sepulveda yelled, punching his fist in the air and hugging everyone in sight. The president described how lovely it was to see Avalos' son greet his father. "I told Florencio, that few times have I ever seen a son show so much love for his father," Pinera said. "This won't be over until all 33 are out," he said. "Hopefully the spirit of these miners will remain forever ...

The first of 33 trapped miners has been pulled to safety in a capsule barely wider than a man's shoulders, an emotional breakthrough as a two-month ordeal inside a Chilean mine nears its end. Rescuers, relatives and friends broke into jubilant cheers as 31-year-old father-of-two Florencio Avalos emerged on the surface to breathe his first fresh air in 69 days after a claustrophobic ascent of around 2050 feet through thick rock. Rescuer Manuel Gonzalez took 17 minutes to descend the shaft and he was hugged by the waiting miners. He then took just minutes to buckle Avalos into the capsule and send him to the surface. Relatives rushed to hug and kiss Avalos, who walked out of the capsule looking healthy after his nearly 16-minute ascent. He was then embraced by President Sebastian Pinera as the surrounding crowd chanted "Chile! Chile!" The men have spent 69 days in the hot, humid bowels of the gold and copper mine in Chile's northern Atacama desert. For the first 17 days, they were all believed to be dead, and their record-breaking story of survival has captured the world's attention. Nervous wives, children, parents and friends waited on an arid, rocky hillside above the San Jose mine as rescue teams started an evacuation expected to take up to 48 hours. Pinera earlier sang to the strums of a guitar played by Mining Minister Laurence Golborne around a campfire as relatives waited anxiously for their loved ones. The specially-made steel cages are equipped with oxygen masks ...
The first of 33 Chilean miners returned to the surface in late Tuesday after being trapped a half-mile underground for 69 days. Profiles of the 33 men: Luis Urzua, 54 The shift foreman, known as Don Lucho by other miners, took a leading role while they were trapped and made maps of their cave. Yonni Barrios, 50 Known as "the doctor" because he has first aid skills from helping his diabetic mother. While he has been underground his wife discovered he had a mistress. Franklin Lobos, 53 A well known former football player known as the "magic mortar." While underground he received a T-shirt signed by Barcelona player David Villa. Mario Sepulveda, 40 An electrical specialist known as "the presenter" because he acted as a spokesman and guide on videos the miners sent up. He ended one video saying "Over to you in the studio." Raul Bustos, 40 The hydraulics engineer was a victim of the February earthquake in Chile. He moved north, finding work at the mine to support his wife and two children.

The rescued miner will now be taken for medical examination. Gonzalez, from the state-owned mining conglomerate Codelco, took 16 minutes to descend in the specially designed capsule to test the run and was greeted with hugs from the miners, now into their 68th day of isolation.

Moving scenes as the first of the chilean miners is rescued. Florencio Avalos, 31, a foreman, was winched to freedom inside a slim capsule pulled through the 28-inch-wide shaft that had been drilled to reach the men's underground refuge. He emerged to ecstatic cheers from rescue workers and the families of the miners, but was shielded from the view of the reporters who had arrived from around the world to cover the dramatic event. The other miners are expected to be rescued at a rate of about one an hour, barring accidents or obstacles. The plan is to have the last of the miners on the surface within two days. Luis Urzua, 54, who emerged as the leader of the miners during the ordeal, is to be the last out. Miners' relatives, government officials and media representatives all eagerly awaited the first sign of a successful rescue on what was the 69th day of captivity for the men. President Sebastian Pinera arrived at the mine Tuesday to see the rescue efforts and greet the miners.

The tension is building for 33 trapped Chilean miners and their families. With all eyes on Chile's effort to make sure that all of the miners are soon lifted to safety, the miners' physical and mental health is being fastidiously monitored. (Oct. 10)
The 2010 Copiapó mining accident occurred when the San José copper-gold mine near Copiapó Chile collapsed, leaving 33 miners trapped several hundred meters below ground - and the miners have set a world record for the length of time workers have survived trapped underground after a mining accident. The San José Mine is about 45 kilometres (28 mi) north of Copiapó, in the north of the country and the miners are trapped at approximately 700 metres (2300 ft) deep and about 5 kilometres (3 mi) from the mine entrance. The mine had a history of instability that had led to previous accidents, including one death. A government report from July 2010 warned that the mine owners had failed "to reinforce the roof ...". The lack of reinforcement "had led to an earlier collapse of the roof." There has been controversy over why the mine was not closed down earlier. Some, including lawyers representing the mining company, suspect that the owners of the mine will declare bankruptcy after the men are rescued....
October 10, 2010 (2:43) The second drill, known as 'Plan B', has reached the Chilean miners, who have been trapped underground for 67 days. The rescue attempt might start as soon as Tuesday.
