Drill begins hard work of drilling to reach miners (AP)

Men work on a new drill to be used in the rescue operation of 33 trapped miners at the San Jose mine in Copiapo, Chile, Monday, Aug. 30, 2010. The miners, who have been trapped since the shaft they were working in collapsed on Aug. 5, were confirmed to be alive on Aug. 22 when they were reached by rescue teams via a small hole through which they could pass messages and see the miners with a camera.
