Thirty three Chilean miners were trapped in a collapsed gold and copper mine six hundred meters below ground. These miners were underground for approximately two months. They survived by rationing their food and staying in an emergency shelter. As a result to being trapped in the mine some of the men suffered from skin conditions, chest infections, and high blood pressure. Psychiatrist also say that they can possibly suffer from metal scars. I think that is was irresponsible for the project director to let the men go into the mine because it wasn't safe. It was very unfortunate for those men to have to go through so much turmoil. It's also amazing that all thirty three men were able to survive and return home to their loved ones. Even though those people could have died during this particular event, it didn't affect me because I did not personally know any of those men.
