In Chilean Mine, what’s on your (underground) iPod?
After seven weeks, thirty-three Chilean miners remain trapped underground in a partially collapsed gold mine. To help pass the time while waiting for rescue, authorities are sending various items down a 3.19-inch-wide supply line. Supplies range from food and water to magazines, Bibles, short stories, journals… and recently, an iPod with a variety of music.
