Chilean Mine Rescue (2010)

The 2010 Chilean mine rescue involved 33 miners trapped 2,300 feet underground after a collapse in the San José Mine. Over 69 days, rescuers drilled rescue shafts, sending supplies and communication. A specially designed capsule, the "Fenix," was used to carefully bring each miner to the surface one by one. The operation highlighted advanced engineering, teamwork, and resilience, capturing global attention. All miners survived, demonstrating effective crisis management and technological innovation in extreme conditions. The event remains a remarkable example of rescue efforts in challenging underground environments.
