Chile Miners Rescue Video: Joy as capsule raises trapped men to surface. The 69-day ordeal that made history and captivated the world ends with the 33rd rescue!
Cheers greet the rescued men as they emerge from a 2,000-foot shaft, ending a months-long ordeal.
Rescued first was Florencio Avalos, who wore a helmet and sunglasses to protect him from the glare of bright lights. He smiled broadly as he emerged and hugged his sobbing 7-year-old son, Bairon, and wife, then got a bearhug from Chilean President Sebastian Pinera shortly after midnight local time.
