World Record Attained

The last miner to be rescued was Carrizo Esteban Rojas. Apparently, he is guaranteed a spot in the Guinness World Records for the longest time ever spent trapped underground in a mine. 

Also, a national monunment will be constructed to commemorate the disaster, which was annouced by the Chilean President San Jose Pinera.


About $12,000 in donations for each miner has been received.  As well, to compensate the miners, Leonardo Farkas, a Chilean mining executive has written checks worth $10,000 US to each of the 33 miners who were rescued.
