Relatives of miners trapped in Chile in vigil waiting for rescue

Relatives of 33 miners since 5 August are trapped 700 meters in northern Chile were kept awake on Thursday night and early Friday, pending final phase begins rescue workers.
So while the drill T-130, Plan B for the rescue plan, reached late on the 556 feet deep, closer to the 632 needed to make contact with workers.
The T-130 is in the second stage of work consisting of widening the canal to a diameter sufficient to allow the evacuation of workers.
Once you reach the gallery where the trapped, technicians scoured the canal, to determine whether they need their "jacket" (jacket) in its entirety or in some sections, pinpointed those responsible for the work.
Depending on the option taken, the recovery may last between three and eight days, as noted by the Minister of Mines, Laurence Golborne.
During the vigil, some relatives expressed their hope that the T-130 "break" the gallery are the miners during the night, although experts have said that could happen on Saturday.
The candles were set on the edge of a road leading to Camp Esperanza, which have remained from the same August 5, when a landslide trapped the workers.
Before lighting the candles, the family sang the national anthem, while children carried flags of Chile. They were accompanied by Sen. Atacama region Isabel Allende, daughter of the late Chilean President Salvador Allende.
The charge of the rescue said while the plan to the rescue, by a machine Strata 950, runs 598 meters and Plan C, by an oil-421 Rigg, digging a conduit directly to the diameter required forevacuation, in the 350 meters.
