Relatives of miners trapped alive in the San Jose mine stand among Chilean flags outside the mine on Sunday Aug. 29, 2010. 

Workers stand by the narrow pipe that keeps communication open with miners who are trapped inside the collapsed San Jose mine in Copiapo, Chile on Sunday Aug. 29, 2010. The trapped miners half mile underground will have to aid their own escape clearing tons of rock that will fall as the rescue hole is drilled, the engineer in charge of drilling said Sunday.

Relatives of trapped miners Renan and Florencio Avalo raise a tattered Chilean flag on a hill overlooking the camp where the families of the trapped miners wait outside the collapsed San Jose mine on Saturday Aug. 28, 2010. This flag was transformed into a symbol of resilience in Chile when an earthquake survivor was photographed pulling it from the wreckage of the February 27th earthquake and tsunami

The granddaughter of trapped miner Mario Gomez, Marion Gallardo, writes a letter to her grandfather on August 25, 2010. 

Carola Narvaez, wife of Raul Bustos, one of the miners trapped in the collapsed San Jose mine, reads a letter addressed to her that was retrieved from her trapped husband as she sits in a shelter outside the mine on Thursday Aug. 26, 2010. Narvaez and her husband are also survivors of Chile's massive February earthquake.

Candles are lit behind a religious statue in front of which relatives pray for the 33 miners trapped underground in the San Jose mine in Copiapo, Chile on August 26, 2010. 

Relatives show each other a video recorded with a camera in a probe on August 26, 2010 of the miners still trapped inside the San Jose mine on August 26, 2010.

A television camera mounted in the nose of a probe before is sent to the miners of the San Jose mine on August 25, 2010. Chile's trapped miners say they are enduring "hell" underground, putting urgency into a rescue operation that is about to start but could drag on for months before providing salvation.

A car travels on the main road to the San Jose mine near Copiapo, Chile on August 23, 2010. 18 days after a cave-in, rescuers sent trapped Chilean miners supplies of saline and glucose through a narrow drill hole on Monday, and now face a months-long, half-mile dig to save them.
