Mass marks year since Chile mine collapse

President Sebastian Pinera joined most of Chile’s 33 rescued miners at a celebratory Mass, a year after the San Jose mine collapsed, trapping the men half a mile below the surface.

Several of the miners carried an image of the Virgin to the Candelaria cathedral in Copiapo, a dusty mining city in Chile’s northern desert 31 miles from the isolated mine that has been closed since the men were pulled out alive 69 days after their ordeal began.
