Credit: Reuters/Luis Hidalgo By Terry Wade and Juana Casas COPIAPO, Chile | Sun Oct 17, 2010 2:10am EDT COPIAPO, Chile (Reuters) - Some of the 33 miners in northern Chile who were rescued last week after 69 days trapped underground will return on Sunday to the mine that almost became their tomb. The miners, their families and friends are set to attend a morning religious ceremony at the mouth of the San Jose copper and gold mine from which they were rescued on Wednesday in a painstakingly planned and perfectly executed operation that was watched live on television around the world. The men were trapped for more than two months at 2,050 feet underground before being rescued. The ceremony, expected to trigger strong emotions, will seek to honor the miners' solidarity and determination to survive. "It's going to be difficult, but we know we can take it," Omar Reygadas, a widower who was the 17th miner to be rescued, said of the planned service. Another rescued worker, Jose Henriquez, the group's prayer leader who asked for 33 bibles to be sent down while they awaited rescue, became the first to go back and visit the mine on Saturday. He said he wanted to get to know the area near the mine known as "Camp Hope," where family members gathered to pray and await news about their husbands, sons and fathers. "I came to look in my locker to make sure I didn't leave anything behind," he joked. Ending what many felt was a spiritual mission, families of the miners on Thursday packed up the tents they had lived in for the previous two months and prepared for life outside the intense fellowship that the camp provided. They descended on the barren land around the San Jose mine after the collapse on August 5, fearful that all the miners were dead but refusing to give up. Many of the relatives are deeply religious and some prayed almost around the clock. On Saturday, three days after being pulled from the depths, the 33 started removing the sunglasses provided to protect their eyes after so much time in near darkness. They have been showered with job offers and gifts, including free vacations to Jamaica, the Greek isles and Elvis Presley's Graceland mansion, as well as invitations to European soccer matches. They are not saying much so far about what it was really like after the cave-in that left them huddled together in a humid cavern. Some of them are talking about saving their stories for a book about those 69 hellish days. Publishing experts say a book by the miners could be quite profitable. When the mine caved in, the men were thought to have died in yet another of Latin America's litany of mining accidents. Rescuers found them 2-1/2 weeks later with a bore hole the width of a grapefruit. That tiny hole became an umbilical cord used to pass down hydration gels, water and food to keep them alive. A bigger shaft was later bored to bring them up. 1 2 Next World Add a Comment *We welcome comments that advance the story directly or with relevant tangential information.
