The amazing story of the trapped Chilean miners and their
incredible rescue that Publishers Weekly "calls "a riveting,
in-depth recounting of the events that held the world rapt."
In early August 2010, the unthinkable happened when a mine
collapsed in Copiano, Chile, trapping 33 miners 2,000 feet below
the surface. For sixty-nine days they lived on meager resources
with increasingly poor air quality. When they were finally rescued,
the world watched with rapt attention and rejoiced in the amazing
spirit and determination of the miners. What could have been a
terrible tragedy became an amazing story of survival.
In Trapped," Marc Aronson provides the backstory behind the
rescue. By tracing the psychological, physical, and environmental
factors surrounding the mission, Aronson highlights the amazing
technology and helping hands that made it all possible. From the
Argentinean soccer players that hoped to raise morale, to NASA
volunteering their expertise to come up with a plan, there was no
shortage of enterprising spirit when it came to saving lives.
Readers will especially appreciate the eight pages of full-color
photos, timeline, glossary, notes, and more.
