CHILE-MINING-ACCIDENT
Relatives of the 33 miners trapped inside the San Jose gold and copper mine read the bible at the Esperanza encampment, near Copiapo, 800 km north of Santiago, on September 12, 2010. The 33 miners have become national heroes since being discovered on August 22, 17 days after a mine cave-in in the remote Atacama desert. Euphoria at their discovery was dampened by the grim news they might have to remain underground for perhaps four months before being rescued, though steady progress has been made on two alternative rescue bids -- dubbed Plans A and B -- to drill tunnels to the trapped Chilean miners. A third plan, Plan C, is about to begin and if all goes according to schedule, it will shorten the rescue time to perhaps two months. AFP PHOTO/Hector RETAMAL
