The miners, who have been trapped since the shaft they were working in collapsed on Aug. 5, were confirmed to be alive Sunday when they were reached by rescue teams via a small hole through which they could pass messages and see the miners with a camera. The message at top left reads in Spanish “Be strong brother miners, be strong Esteban, Pablo, Tono and Ariel. Let’s go Queero” and at right “We love you Esteban Rojas Carrizo, your family.”
