The rescue in October 2010 of 33 miners trapped for more than two months after a partial collapse of the San José Mine in Chile is revisited in “Against All Odds: Rescue at the Chilean Mine,” a multimedia exhibition that opened at the Washington, D.C. National Museum of Natural History on August 5th— one year to the day after the miners were trapped, according to a press announcement by the Smithsonian-operated museum.
Dozens of mine safety professionals shared ideas on mine emergency rescue and response during last month’s Mine Safety and Emergency Management Summit in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
