The miners, who were mobbed by reporters, were expected to attend a mass at the mine and tour the makeshift campsite where their relatives had monitored efforts to rescue them during the nearly 10 weeks that the men were trapped deep below ground. Police were forced to step in to protect the six miners, who arrived with their relatives at the site at 10:00 am (1300GMT), after journalists crowded them seeking interviews. Amid calls around the world for greater mine safety in the wake of their accident, rescue operations to reach trapped miners were underway in both China and Ecuador. In China, at least 26 people were killed after a gas explosion in a coal mine and hope was fading that 11 others would be found alive In Ecuador, at least two men were confirmed dead after a rock collapse blocked the exit of a gold mine, and rescuers were working to find two others. At the site of Chile's miraculous rescue, the first miner to arrive was Juan Carlos Aguilar, 49, who came with his wife and son. They walked around the site of the now-abandoned Camp Hope, and took a look at the tent where Aguilar's family waited for his rescue. Next to return were Luis Urzua, the shift supervisor who served as de facto leader of the men, the sole Bolivian among the miners, Carlos Mamani, and Juan Illanes, who carried his one-and-half-year old daughter in his arms. Two others, Jimmy Sanchez and Dario Segovia, arrived at the San Jose mine, in Chile's forbidding Atacama desert, shortly afterwards. Chilean President Sebastian Pinera, who embarked Friday on a tour of Europe, has suggested turning Camp Hope into a memorial or museum to honor the men. Not all 33 were expected to attend the mass planned for Sunday, with some still too tired, and others recovering from family celebrations that ran late into Saturday night. One of the men, Victor Zamora, is still in hospital, and is expected to stay there for medical observation until Tuesday, after having dental problems. The return to the mine was part of what is expected to be a long process of adjustment for the 33 men, who have become national heroes and garnered global attention for their miraculous survival and dramatic rescue. Some were finding it difficult to come to terms with their new lives. "This isn't right," miner Victor Segovia said when he went home to find a crowd of camera-toting news crews waiting, according to an account in the newspaper La Tercera. "We are nobodies. We are only simple people who survived," he was quoted as saying. "What they are facing in the week to come is very difficult," said Health Minister Jaime Manalich. Miner Ariel Ticona admitted he wasn't sleeping much, but not because of nightmares or anxiety -- his baby daughter was keeping him up all night. "It's okay, I've got a backlog of sleep," he told AFP Saturday. His little girl Esperanza, which means "hope" in Spanish, was born while Ticona was still trapped over 600 meters (2,000 feet) below ground. "She's pretty, very pretty. She's beautiful, just lovely," he told AFP. Details of the amazing survival have emerged gradually, with the men describing the horror of the initial period after the August 5 collapse that trapped them, when they feared they had been given up for dead. "The confinement was terrible," said miner Juan Illanes, a 52-year-old mechanic and former soldier. "The first 17 days were a nightmare. Then everything changed. But the hardest thing was to be down there. Buried for two months." After more than two weeks, rescuers finally reached the men on August 22, and then began working furiously to build the rescue shaft through which they were pulled to safety last week. Above ground, in the gritty mining town of Copiapo, the men have a chance to turn their fear and despair into profit, perhaps even riches beyond their wildest dreams, if book deals and Hollywood film rights come. In a sign of the special bond that sustained them through their terrible entrapment, relatives say the men want to pool the proceeds of any payments so they can be shared equally.
