 View of the "T-130" drill, named "Plan B", working to rescue the 33 trapped miners in the San Jose mine in Copiapo, Chile on September 6, 2010. Drillers have begun two approaches - "Plan A" and "Plan B" - with a quicker "Plan C" route scheduled to begin on September 18. The latter could reduce the rescue time to two months at best, having to only drill some 597 meters (1,958 feet) to reach the trapped workers.
