EPISODE 2: "BENEATH THE EARTH: MINING DISASTERS" This episode investigates survival in industrial underground settings, focusing on three remarkable mining disaster stories:

• The Chilean Mining Miracle (2010): The 69-day ordeal of 33 miners trapped 2,300 feet underground in the San José copper-gold mine and the unprecedented rescue operation that captured global attention.
• The Quecreek Mine Rescue (2002): The dramatic 78-hour rescue of nine Pennsylvania coal miners who survived in a flooding mine by tethering themselves together while water rose to their necks.
• The Beaconsfield Mine Collapse (2006): The 14-day entrapment of Todd Russell and Brant Webb in Australia's Beaconsfield gold mine, where they survived in a space barely larger than their bodies, experiencing extreme confinement.
