All 33 Miners Rescued, 2010 Copiapó Mining Accident, Chile

Procedure
The miner is strapped into a harness inside the 21-inch-wide bullet-shaped capsule. He wears a green, moisture-resistant track suit and donated Oakley sunglasses so he won't be blinded by his first exposure to sunlight in ten weeks. The capsule, designed by NASA and constructed by the Chilean Navy includes oxygen masks, heart monitors, and video cameras.
The capsule spins slowly as it rises, ascending at a pace 1 metre per second (2.2 mph), in a ride that should take from 12 to 18 minutes.
When the miner reaches the surface, he is rushed to a nearby medical station for an appraisal his vital signs. If he needs no emergency treatment, he is moved to a field hospital for a more thorough exam, and is then reunited with relatives and friends at a hillside staging area. All miners, regardless health, are ultimately flown by helicopter to a regional hospital forty miles away.
