A celebration of the dramatic and wonderful rescue of the 33 miners trapped underground in 2010. This blog is an attempt to bring the great news of their rescue to my students learning to write in English.

The Phoenix
Here is a picture of the pod that is bringing the men to the surface. It has lots of equipment to monitor how each man is coping with the final ordeal of being rescued - 12-15 minutes in the pod, named the Phoenix.
Medical staff are on hand to make sure that each man arrives safely - some have even gone down to the bottom to supervise each man as he steps in the Phoenix and commences the ascent to the surface.
Heroes like these really have put Chile on the map, haven't they?
