BBC

The evacuation of 33 miners trapped underground in Chile is likely to start on Wednesday, the country's mining minister has said.

Laurence Golborne was speaking after engineers had drilled through to the underground chamber where the miners are sheltering.

Work has now begun to stabilise the top of the rescue shaft with steel casing, which will take about a day-and-a-half.

The miners have been trapped 700m (2,300ft) underground since 5 August.

The drilling breakthrough came shortly after 0800 local time (1200 GMT) on Saturday, sparking celebrations across Chile.

Too right.

Mind you, I'd never be a miner in the first place  !!

I hope that they get them all out OK.  praying

Watched some of it just before the medic went down and when i got up i saw the 3rd or 4th and the same guys were still presenting the news (BBC 24)

So fascinating to watch and glad everything went smoothly

Aye, I was watching on the BBC (TV and 'net) and listening to Radio 5live too.

So nice to have a positive news story to talk about.

Hopefully, this won't happen again and the Chilean authorities will make their mines safer.

I'm very pleased for the miners and their families.  clapping

Great to see all the men on the surface again. I guess now starts the healing process.
