Trapped Peruvian miners will be ‘freed alive’
- 12 years ago
Mining engineers in charge of rescuing trapped Peruvian miners say they don't know how long it will take to pull them out.
But they say all nine are in good health, 6 days after they were trapped by a rockfall and collapsed shaft.
Rescuers at the Cabeza de Negro mine, some 300 kilometres south of the Peruvian capital Lima, are feeding the miners through a hose, and are using the same pipe to communicate with the men.
The miners are aged between 22 and 59
