Video From Hell


Trapped Chilean miners sing national anthem in footage from inside mine

"One miner gives a guided tour of the small shelter where the men took refuge when a landslide trapped them inside the mine on 5 August.
He explains that he and his colleagues have enough room to stand and lie down, points out the "little cup to brush our teeth", and the place where they pray each day.
"We have everything organised," he says.
The few items they have are carefully laid out: a first aid cabinet, shelves holding unidentified bottles, mats in a corner for rest.
As the camera fixes on a table where dominoes have been laid out, the tour guide says that "this is where we entertain ourselves, where we play cards".
He added: "We meet here every day. We plan, we have assemblies here every day so that all the decisions we make are based on the thoughts of all 33."
Many of the miners appear in the video wearing their hard hats. As the camera pans to them, some flash peace signs, wave and smile. Others look groggy as if they have just woken up.
"Greetings to my family," says one unidentified man. "Get us out of here soon, please."
