MINERS PHYSICAL CONDITION

The decision, announced by prosecutors today, prompted

a furious reaction from the victims many of them still
traumatised by their ordeal. They were eventually plucked
to safety in a metal capsule, one by one, up a narrow
2,300ft shaft at the San Jos mine in the !tacama desert,
"00 miles north of in the capital, Santia#o.
$%t is impossible that in an accident of this ma#nitude no
one is held responsible,& said 'ario Sepulveda, one of the
survivors. $Today, % want to di# a deep hole and bury
myself a#ain. (nly this time, % don)t want anybody to find
me.&
%n separate comments, he attacked *hile)s $crappy& +ustice
system and told the website Soychile that the former mine
owners, !le+andro ,ohn and 'arcelo -emeny, were now
$wanderin# around free and happy despite the fact that
they left us buried&.
!nother survivor, .steban /o+as, told the *hilean paper
0a Terceira1 $Serna#eomin 2*hile)s 3ational 4eolo#y and
'inin# Service5 should be found #uilty for not
