TRAPPED: HOW THE WORLD RESCUED 33 MINERS FROM 2,000 FEET BELOW THE CHILEAN DESERT
By: Aronson, Marc
In early August 2010, the unthinkable happened when a mine collapsed in
CopiapÓ, Chile, and 33 miners were trapped 2,000 feet below the surface. For
sixty-nine days they lived on meager resources and increasingly poor air
quality. When they were finally rescued, the world watched with rapt attention
and rejoiced in the amazing spirit and determination of the miners. What could
have been a terrible tragedy became an amazing story of survival. Now, with
exclusive interviews with rescuers and expert commentary, Marc Aronson brings us
the backstory behind this incredible event. By tracing the psychological,
physical, and environmental factors surrounding the rescue, Trapped highlights
the amazing technology and helping hands that made it all possible. From the
Argentinean soccer players who hoped to raise morale, to NASA volunteering their
expertise to come up with a plan, there was no shortage of enterprising spirit
when it came to saving lives. TitlePeek
