Chilean Miners
1 of 10
The 33 miners trapped under the earth in Copiago, Chile, have been communicating with their families through tiny passages that rescuers were able to drill into the mine.

The miners had been trapped for 17 days, living off limited reserves in one of the mine's emergency shelters. The nine-inch holes are just big enough to pass messages, food, water and basic supplies through.

The rescue mission to free the men from the mine is suspected to take months; in that time they will live without light or sanitation.
