Trapped miners in Chile may be reached today.

Chilean Miners may be reached today.

The 33 men that have been trapped by a mine collapse in Chile, may be reached today.  These miners were trapped August 5th and have been thousands of feet underground ever since.  The ongoing rescue effort is the worlds longest rescue effort ever.  The families of the miners have been living in a tent city above the mines since the miners got trapped.

I couldn't imagine being trapped underground for any amount of time.  I applaud the effort of the rescuers as well as the miners for their bravery.  I am glad to hear that they will be reaching the miners faster than what was originally expected.  Even after the rescue team has drilled down to the miners it could still take days before the first of the miners can be brought back to the surface.
