Mission Accomplished: All 33 Miners Rescued After 70 Days Underground

The miners were monitored by video for any sign of panic and were aided by oxygen masks, dark glasses to protect their eyes from unfamiliar light and sweaters for the climate change from subterranean heat to chilly air on the surface.

The emerging miners appeared energetic and healthy, one pounding his fist into the air and another kneeling down in prayer.
