Chilean Miners Trapped Nicole Popis BCOM/275 June 10, 2013 Robert Beaudry Chilean Miners Trapped In August of 2010, a small copper mine in Northern Chile was the world’s focal point, when it was announced that 33 miners were trapped underground and still alive. The mine shaft collapsed and every news station, radio station, and newspaper reported it every day until the miners were rescued in October 2010. When a company is dealing with a tragedy, they must understand their audience to make sure they carefully release the information to the public covering everyone’s needs.

We were staying around the trailer and filming the whole event until a big explosion wiped out and the debris seems more serious. That was about 30 minutes after the first earthquake.

Announcing this to the world and the family members of the miners trapped had to be the most horrible job ever! Delivering such news would have to be done in steps, the information should be released to the families first and then a statement released to the press. The information released to both would have to be different, mainly because the family would need more personal information then the press. The family and the entire company should be the first people to hear about the collapse, giving as much
Chilean Mine Collapse Desperate families of the 33 miners lay waiting in makeshift tents at the entrance of a Chilean mine that recently had collapsed and cut off communication with their loved ones. The miners were trapped beneath almost 700,000 tons of rock. Despite the prior closure of the mining site production continued with no consideration for human lives. Not knowing whether the 33 miners were dead or alive the government still assembled a team from one of the world’s largest copper producers to find a way to rescue those trapped so far below the surface (Yang, 2010). This story was an extraordinary one.

After losing hundreds of men to gold mining, the shopkeepers employed thousands of Chinese immigrants to build their railroad. They were forced to work long hard hour at little pay to complete the railroad on time and when they went on strike the greedy engineers starved them back into work. Many Chinese labours died in work related accidents, whether it was being buried alive after experimental use of bombs to mine through mountains, killed in avalanches or suffering from disease or injury during the construction, the engineers didn’t care as long as their railroad won the race and they became rich. In the east, the union pacific had begun their construction at a rapid rate, completing 200
Chilean Mine Collapse It is hard to imagine something like this happening, 33 people, trapped under ground. Someone’s father, brother, cousin, son, nephew, and so on and so forth.
