22 August 2010 (): 17 days after the first collapse, a note is found attached to one of the drill bits, saying: "Estamos bien en el refugio, los 33" (English: "We are well in the shelter, the 33"). The miners were in a shelter having lunch when the first collapse occurred, and had survived on rations.
The 33 (Spanish: Los 33) is a 2015 biographical disaster-survival drama film directed by Patricia Riggen and written by Mikko Alanne, Craig Borten, Michael Thomas, and José Rivera. The film is based on the real events of the 2010 Copiapó mining disaster, in which 33 miners were trapped inside the San José Mine in Chile for 69 days.
Thereafter the men were known as “los 33.” A video feed threaded through the small drill hole later confirmed that they were unharmed. The point at which the men were trapped was approximately 2,300 feet (700 metres) from the surface.
