Five minutes to midnight: Chile shows the way
In the last two decades when the world has been plagued by terrorism, violence, war, poverty, disease and natural disasters like tsunamis and earthquakes, the pictures of the amazing operation of rescue of 33 miners trapped in the copper and gold mine in Copiapo in San Hose, Chile, will probably go down as this decade's best-loved story.

Rojas was the eighteenth of the 33 miners rescued from the mine after more than two months trapped underground.
