For days, the families waited breathlessly as percussion drills searched out signs of life. Finally, a note came back from below--the miners were alive and safe. Now the rescue crew needed to burrow through 2300 feet of solid rock to get them out. For nine weeks, the world watched as Chile threw all of its resources into the effort. Televisions flashed images of worried families holding vigil night and day and of Chile's newly elected President Pinera making their recovery his personal crusade. What the cameras didn't reveal was the behind-the-scenes intrigue: the corruption that led to faulty construction of the tunnel in the first place; how the men lived in a muddy and humid environment where the temperature was unbearably hot; how the rescue effort became a political campaign to raise the president's sagging numbers; and the abundant hope necessary to sustain the men in their underground captivity. Author Manuel Pino takes us into his native Chile and, drawing on direct access to the miners and their families, weaves a rich narrative of extraordinary survival and triumph"-- $c Provided by publisher. 505 0 $a The ill-fated shift -- Reckless acts -- Men cry, too -- Anguish versus laughter -- "We are okay in the refuge, the 33" -- Three plans -- "The mine here" -- "Understood, doctor" -- The director -- Hope is born -- The soul's beauty in the flesh -- "We're ready, mate" -- Like fighter pilots -- The beginning of the end -- Freedom bound -- God in flesh and blood -- Son of the desert. 650 0 $a San JoseÌ Mine Accident, Chile, 2010. 650 0 $a Gold mines and mining $x Accidents $z CopiapoÌ Region. $z CopiapoÌ Region. 650 0 $a Copper mines and mining $x Accidents $z CopiapoÌ Region. $z CopiapoÌ Region. 650 0 $a Mine rescue work $z CopiapoÌ Region. $z CopiapoÌ Region. 650 0 $a Survival $z CopiapoÌ Region. $z CopiapoÌ Region. 650 0 $a Gold miners $z CopiapoÌ Region $z CopiapoÌ Region $v Biography. 650 0 $a Copper miners $z CopiapoÌ Region $z CopiapoÌ Region $v Biography. 651 0 $a CopiapoÌ Region (Chile) $x History $y 21st century. 651 0 $a CopiapoÌ Region (Chile) $v Biography. 650 7 $a HISTORY / Latin America / South America $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / General $2 bisacsh 941 $a 3 952 $l JNPC081 $d 20240801011426.0 952 $l NUPD663 $d 20180712051940.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160825090855.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C7CE1364EE4E11E0BFB3B9EB6AFF544EInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
