[交流] 【Share】Miners in Chile continue their ascents to freedom

By the CNN Wire StaffOctober 13, 2010 -- Updated 2344 GMT (0744 HKT)

Copiapo, Chile (CNN) -- By Wednesday evening, rescuers had hoisted to the surface more than two-thirds of the 33 miners trapped in a northern Chile gold and copper mine before an audience that stretched across the world.

After 69 harrowing days, the miners ascended to freedom one by one, hoisted through nearly a half-mile of rock in a rescue mission that began in the numbing chill of a desert night, continued under the searing sun of a cloudless day and stretched into the dusk.

Each time the red, white and blue metal capsule approached the earth's surface, its cargo was heralded by the wail of a siren and applause from relatives and rescuers assembled nearby.

Some of the miners signaled a thumbs-up. Others waved Chilean flags. One led the crowd in a chant for Chile. Some dropped to their knees and prayed. Mostly, though, they embraced their families.

Chilean President Sebastian Pinera called the mission "magical." U.S. President Barack Obama called it a "tremendously inspirational story."
