Chile trapped miner Torres Lopez rescued unharmed
A Chilean miner has been brought to the surface after spending 52 hours trapped 100m underground in a collapsed mine.
Mario Torres Lopez is said to have emerged unscathed from the Victoria mine, in the northern Atacama region.
Rescue teams found out he was alive when he used a hammer to bang on metal tubes running through the shaft to communicate with them.
Three years ago, 33 miners were rescued from a mine in the same region after being trapped for 69 days.
