The Geological Factor: San Jose,Drilling for Life
By Walter Véliz Araya, Felipe Matthews Rojas
Length10h 39m
About this audiobook
"The gestation process of the most spectacular technical and human drama in Chilean mining history lacked a book like this. Buried, as the 33 miners, were the detailed events of this amazing saga. A huge percentage of that story had to do with ignored geologists, drillers and mining technicians with their incredible drilling machines. Walter Véliz and Felipe Matthews have written an exciting thriller about the most watched mine rescue in history, unknown to many in the details that the authors
reveal. In these pages the debt of information from news reports on the Rescue of the 33 is settled, through the recount of the process of gestation of the news, which was missing."
