How Do 33 Workers Survive In A Mine?

In 2010 33 miners were held captive inside a mine for 69 days with not enough food and water to live for 3 weeks (Tobar). How did all 33 miners survive in this mine with only enough food to last less than half of the time they were in there? What engineering took place for the outsiders to get food down the 2,300 ft mine(Boyette Chris, Michelle Rozsa, Rosa Flores).

The miners outside of the mine used a drill to make a hole in the mountain and place a tube down the hole and sending food down to the miners (Tobar). But the miners had to live more than two weeks before that happened(Tobar). After several holes the drill found them and the drill team were able to send down food and water to the miners. The reason it took so long to find the miners

As the drill was reaching the mine the bit broke again.Luckily they had a plan c, this plan was the same as the first with three rotating metal disk this drill already had a 28inch bit so they wouldn’t need a reamer “To get the men out, the rescuers began drilling a twenty-eight-inch-wide shaft directed at a passageway”(T0bar).This allowed the drill to make it down to the hole and to send a escape pod down the hole. The escape pod took one man at a time, and it took thirty minutes for the men to get out of the
