Description

The 33. The Ultimate Account of the Chilean Miners' Dramatic Rescue by Jonathan Franklin. 'On 12 October, the world's attention was fixed on a remote copper mine in the Atacama desert in Chile. Final preparations were underway for a daring rescue to bring to an end the longest underground entrapment in human history. Sixty-nine days earlier, thirty-three miners were midway through a routine shift, deep in the San Jose mine. They stopped for lunch at the tiny safety shelter 688 metres below the surface. Ten minutes later they heard an almighty crack and a deep rumbling sound. Clouds of dust and debris poured down on the choking men. The bombardment lasted for five hours. When it finally cleared, the men discovered they were trapped under tonnes of collapsed rock'. The book has some damage from a sticker removal on the top corner of the front cover but internally the book remains tight and bright.
