They're all out: 33 miners raised safely in Chile

Miner Luis Urzua, the last miner to be rescued, celebrates next to Chile's president, Sebastian Pinera after being pulled to safety

The longest underground nightmare in history ended safely — and faster than anyone expected.
In a flawless operation that unfolded before a hopeful, transfixed world, 33 miners who were trapped for more than two months deep beneath the Chilean earth were raised one by one Wednesday through a smooth-walled shaft of rock.

The last man out was the one who held the group together when they were feared lost, a shift foreman named Luis Urzua who enforced tight rations of their limited food and supplies before help could arrive.
