The story of hwere they were trapped is almost as amazing as being trapped itself. They had access to over 2KM worth of tunnels and levels. They had a workout area where a few of these guys had to get busy in order to lose weight so they could fit in the recuse capsule. they had 3 different shifts 24 hours a day helping the guys up top as they bored out the hole. They even had a desiganted smoking area where the smokers were rationed 11 cigarettes each a day!!
Not optimum conditions, but they actually had an area to exist in.

The area was really big. One of the guys down there wasn't even a miner, he was a driver! The mine is big enough for a truck to drive supplies back and forth!
