HeadlineAug 23, 2010

In Chile, thirty-three miners are still alive after being trapped underground for two weeks, but authorities say it could take months to reach the men. Over the weekend, the miners attached a note to a drill saying they were still alive inside the gold and copper mine. Rescuers plan to send narrow plastic tubes down the narrow borehole with food, hydration gels and communications equipment.
