(Oct. 14) -- The Chilean mine rescue by the numbers:
700,000 tons -- Amount of rock that collapsed on the copper mine on Aug. 5.
2,041 feet -- Distance through the escape shaft from the Earth's surface to the stranded miners.
1,000+ -- Number of journalists covering the rescue from the scene.
926 pounds -- Total weight of the escape capsule.
100 degrees -- Common temperature in the collapsed mining shaft.
69 days, 8 hours -- Amount of time from collapse to rescue. Obviously no short period of time. However, compared to early estimates that the miners would not be rescued until late December -- a scenario that would have left the miners underground for approximately 140 days -- the 69-day rescue mission is an impressive accomplishment.
63 years old -- Age of Mario Gomez, the oldest of the miners.
48 hours -- Amount of time the standard emergency rations carried by the miners were intended to last. The 33 miners survived 17 days on these rations.
33 miners -- Trapped below the earth's surface.
28 inches -- Width of the escape capsule.
22 hours, 37 minutes -- amount of time to remove the miners.
13 feet -- Length of the escape capsule.
1 Bolivian man -- Among the 33 miners
1 Chilean flag -- On a Texas county absentee ballot, entirely coincidental and otherwise unrelated to the mine disaster and rescue.
1 white butterfly -- Credited with saving two miners, according to local Chilean folklore.
