On August 5, 2010, a tunnel in a gold and copper mine in the Atacama Desert in Chile collapsed, trapping miners underground. For days, families waited as percussion drills searched for signs of life. Finally, a note confirmed the miners were alive. The rescue involved drilling 2,300 feet of solid rock to save them. The world watched for nine weeks as Chile dedicated resources to the effort. Media showed families and President Pinera's involvement, but behind the scenes, issues included faulty construction, poor living conditions for the miners, and political manipulation.
