we know about the condition of the miners who have been rescued. well the condition of the 1st rescued miners quite fragile he was rescued by chance so to speak there was no prior communication and it's a miracle that he survived he didn't have any additional food since january 10th the other 10 rescued miners they were in a group and. operation team they had some communication they could even through a very small tunnel sent some medication and some food to them and they seem to be fine at least according to the 3 state broadcaster here according to the videos they were even making small statements to the cameras they seem to be ok so that is quite good news yes and indeed incredible what about the miners who are still trapped on the ground we know that one miner is stet or presumably
