The fourth of 33 miners has been rescued after 69 days trapped in a collapsed mine.
Rescuers, relatives and friends broke into jubilant cheers as the first of the miners, 31-year-old father-of-two Avalos, emerged on the surface to breathe his first fresh air in 69 days after a claustrophobic ascent of around 625 metres through thick rock.
Rescuers originally found the men, miraculously all alive, 17 days after the mine’s collapse with a bore hole the width of grapefruit. It then served as an umbilical cord used to pass hydration gels, water and food, as well as letters from their families and soccer videos to keep their spirits up.
