Trapped: How the World Rescued 33 Miners from 2,000 Feet Below the Chilean Desert (Marc Aronson)

Summary: In early August 2010, the unthinkable happened when a mine collapsed in Copiapó, Chile, trapping thirty-three miners 2,000 feet below the surface.  For sixty-nine days they lived on meager resources with 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.
