assignment 2

          Early Wednesday morning what is known as the plan "C" was initiated for those men still trapped in the Chilean mine. A drill, used to extract oil is being used to try and make contact with the miners. It's to provide them with fresh air and water. while the plan "A" drill is  around 400meters in, the plan "C" drill should move faster. Drill "B" is planned for the rescue shaft which is widening "A"'s already made shaft though last Wednesday it was halted as its drill bit had fallen off and slipped into the mine.Two other drills are also trying to reach the miners, who have been trapped since the August 5 cave-in.


         during all of this, government engineers are finalizing the rescue capsules which will take about 10-12days to construct.
