Romina and Rossana Gomez, relatives of Mario Gomez, one of the 33 miners trapped in the San Jose mine prepare food at the camp

Romina (L) and Rossana Gomez, relatives of Mario Gomez, one of the 33 miners trapped in the San Jose mine, prepare food at the camp near Copiapo, 800 km noth of Santiago, Chile, on September 20, 2010. The RIG-421 drill, the fastest of three drilling machines brought in to help rescue the 33 trapped workers, started working on the eve drilling a 60-centimeter (24-inch) hole -- about the diameter of a bicycle wheel -- that the miners could then pass through. Whichever escape tunnel is finished first will have to accommodate a special bullet-shaped capsule which will haul each of the miners to the surface.
