Deep Down Dark

by Hector Tobar

In August 2010, 33 miners were trapped after a cave-in deep in a century-old Chilean mine.  Miraculously no one was killed but the men spent over two months pinned underground with very few resources, little light, and initially, no hope of rescue.  The world came together to pull them to safety, but until now, we only really knew what happened outside the mine.

The 33 men agreed: they would tell the story collectively, and here author Hector Tobar tells that story.
