The 33 men trapped deep below ground in a Chilean mine face a grim milestone Sunday – a month since the cave-in that stranded them – as officials warn it could take months more to rescue them.
On Saturday, the miners got an uplifting visit from four of the sixteen survivors of a 1972 Andes plane crash, who endured extreme elements for 72 days before being rescued – their improbable story was turned into a best-selling book, “Alive,” and then a 1993 movie of the same name.
The four Uruguayan men said they had brought a message of hope for the trapped men.
