Drills could reach trapped Chilean miners by Saturday
It’s been over two months since a mine collapse trapped 33 Chilean gold miners deep underground in Copiapo, Chile, but the rescue effort may reach a breakthrough soon. Authorities say the closest of three separate rescue shafts currently being drilled down is 300 feet from the men. Rescuers predict that the drill will break through sometime Saturday morning. However, the moment so many have been waiting for is also the most dangerous part of the rescue.
