Message from trapped Chilean miners

In this amazing raw video, we see the 33 miners who have been trapped in a collapsed mine shaft for three weeks in Chile’s Atacama Desert and how they are coping with life underground. They send greetings to the surface, show the space they are trapped in which includes a casino, and sing the Chilean national anthem. The video was shown to family members last night and on Chilean national television. Also, it was recorded by a minicamera sent by the government in the plastic tubes being used to deliver food and other supplies through a hole about four inches in diameter. Watch HERE.
