Although the minors were trapped underground for 69 days, they were able to handle the situation calmly with very high expectations. Initially the miners tried to escape through the ventilation shaft system, but the ladders required by mining safety codes were missing. It was a bit later that the shafts became inaccessible. Despite many attempts, the shaft could not re-opened until the installation of the escape ladders. There survival depended on the miners mental and physical abilities. They were responding to conditions in an orderly fashion. They organized themselves by by sleeping, having recreations, and by saying lots of prayers. Although they only had a steel forced safe room that contained provisions to feed 25 men for 2 days, they were able to stretch the amount of food for over 2 days. Some difficulties they faced were anger, trouble sleeping, not turning crazy, stress, and many more. One good thing that they encountered was that not only did they cope but they also had physiological benefits.

The only thing that they could do to stay positive was to exercise and play games.

Supported by a 500 watt power line, they installed lights to simulate day and night

There shelter was as big a small studio apartment. They made a canal by digging for underground water and siphoning off additional water from the machinery. They had a larger air space than a regular coal mine. As the people tried to rescue them they made a hole big enough to send down a camera and a note. The camera and note gave them inspiration and hope. They sang to keep them happy

The rescue diet threaded down to them through the tiny borehole helped them survive.

The miners then proceeded to ration their 2-day food (which was rationed for two weeks), attempt to find a way out, and most of all, keep themselves in good spirits. In order to stay calm and sane, they kept hope by praying.

The bio metric belt was used so the miners could monitor and transmit their vital signs to the doctors at the surface

# data[].attributes.body
doctors told the men to go on a solid diet including meat and rice, with a strict 2,200 calorie diet to keep them skinny enough to fit in the evacuation shaft just two feet in diameter.

Once rescuers on the surface discovered the men with a narrow perforation drill, they began sending them hydration gel, soup and medication in narrow plastic tubes called "doves."

A miner's survival depends on their mental and physical abilities. They organized themselves by sleeping,recreation,and organization. The fact that they had such an organized place, made it a good sign of stability. Many of them are likely to get depression, anxiety , anger, short-term memory loss, and not being able to sleep.

They had a steel forced safe room that holds provisions and is meant to feed 25 men for 2 days.

They survived on 1 can of salmon, 1 can of peaches, 1 can on peas,18 cans of tuna,24 liters of condensed milk (which 8 of them were spoiled), 93 packages of cookies, 10 bottles of water, and some expired medicine.

# data[].attributes.body
They ate 1 or 2 cookies and a spoonful of tuna

# data[].attributes.body
10 bottles of water. Even though thousands of liters were containing dirty oily and occasionly used for bathing, it was used for bathing, but it was drinkable enough to keep them alive.

Prayer also helped because it gave them hope at a chance of living.

Cans of food& medicine ( even if expired) it helped last for a long time.

They made broth witch helped last till the next noon.

Fortunately, the miners had contact with the outside world, through the small hole the government had made, this brought them medicine and sanitation stuff.

The miners were trapped in a 121 year old copper and gold mine.

Somehow they found ways to keep their environment clean, find water, and exercise.

The rescuers managed to give the miners water.

Because of the mine's history, many people thought that all of the miners would be dead.

In order to rescue them, they had to travel up a 1/2 mile shaft, in a specially designed capsule

None of the miners had any long term physical conditions.

They were down in the mine for a record breaking 69 days.

# data[].attributes.body
they had a steel room the size of a classroom, that had enough supplies for 25 men for two days.

it had 1 can of salmon, 1 can of peas, 1 can of peaches, 18 cans of tuna, 24 liters of milk and 8 were spoiled, and 93 packages of cookiess. that didnt include what they had ate without knowing.

they had a couple of Medicines that were expired.

They had 10 bottles of water, and many gallons from their machine sot keep them cool. They used some of it to bathe, and eventhough after it was dirty it was still drinkable to keep them alive.

They rationed the food to last them more.

A miner would line up plastic cups and put one spoon of tuna in each cup for the miners, and put water in it to make it into a broth. Each miner recieved two cookies.

They used industrial water from one of the trucks, and motor oil for flavor.

men slept in the refuge area and others spread out. After a while the space began to stink . One Miner compared it to being worse than a dead corpse.

After a while they only had enough for one cookie each miner every other day.

Men started getting frustrated not knowing what to do, others were getting sick, and some were scared of the others.

They finally knew what it was like for animals to be trapped in a cage.

They got out after 69 days. There were some that were injured and sick. When they got out their lives changed. They were considered heroes. They were trapped underground longer than any human being ever has been.

They took turns clearing away debris to help find a place to drill to get out.

They had headlights on their helmets so they had some light

# data[].attributes.body
They survived by giving little portions of food to each miner every day. And the food that was supposed to last 2 days lasted 2 weeks.

The emergency shelter was 50 square meters and they also had 1.2 miles of open tunnels to do whatever they wanted.

# data[].attributes.body
They tried to find water, exercised and organized themselves.

# data[].attributes.body
First, they wrote a wrote in red that said, "Estamos bien en el refugio." This translates to, "We are well in the shelter, the 33 of us." Without this, they would never know whether they had passed away or not, meaning that they possibly would never have been rescued.

# data[].attributes.body
They worked together and tried to keep their morale up.

the men quickly made a eating pattern
