Welcome to History's Not Boring by Kidopoly.com! I'm Mira! And
I'm Finn! Have you ever wondered what it's like to be trapped
deep underground? Deep in Chile's Atacama Desert, an unbelievable
true survival story took place in 2010. When the San Jose copper
mine suddenly collapsed, 33 miners were trapped 700 meters under
the ground! That is twice as deep as the tallest building in the
world is tall! For 17 long days, nobody on the surface even knew
if they were alive. Suddenly, a tiny drill broke through the rock
and came back up with a note: 'Estamos bien en el refugio los 33'
(We are well in the shelter, the 33 of us). The whole world
watched in amazement as engineers worked day and night to build a
special escape capsule called the Phoenix. Could they pull
everyone up safely? After 69 days in the dark, every single miner
was lifted to the surface alive! Join Mira and Finn as they
uncover this incredible story of teamwork, brilliant engineering,
and never giving up!
