Summary:On August 5, 2010, a cave-in at the San José Mine in Chile trapped 33 miners 2,300 feet underground with no way to escape. For 17 days, they survived in darkness, rationing tiny portions of food and water, unsure if the world above even knew they were alive. Then, against all odds, a tiny drill broke through, carrying a note that stunned the world: “We are well in the shelter, the 33 of us.” What followed was a record-breaking, 69-day rescue mission involving NASA, global engineers, and cutting-edge drilling technology. BuriedAlive recounts the sheer determination, fear, and resilience that turned this near-tragedy into one of the most remarkable underground rescues in history.
