[applause]

thank you very much. >> you have done an excellent job. we did what the people were asking and expecting from us. 70 days, 70 days of struggle.ste 70 days of fight. but we had the strength. we had the spirit to keep struggling and to pull itl through. it was really great.i

owdidn't know the workers, but of course i got to know them. >> 24 hours ago when we came on this program, it wasg everybody's hope and dream and aspiration we could see ae celebration as we see unfolding with the president of chile tonight. all 33 miners now have beenins safely rescued. we go back now to our own o steve harrigan standing by live at the mine where the celebration continues. steve, by all accounts we were -- our best case scenario is it would take 36 hours.t it took about 22 by my count to get everyone out of there. >> that's right, sean. o this government has exceedingly set deadlines and then beat them.en it went faster than people thought it would. originally they thought it

would take one hour for eachho miner to come out. hour by the end they were extremelyut efficient dropping the capsule e down and pulling it up. it was getting battered, but no damage.no a very smooth operation withh et no delays technically.chcall we have been seeing the shift foreman, the shift supervisor.s he has been talking to thed he president, and he has really opi occupied a position of honor. during the first 17 days when7 these miners were alone in anrkness and presumed dead, this is one of the men who helped organize them into shifts of daytime and nighttime to keep peoplehtti oplepied, keep people following a set of rules, and really to keep people together with discipline. position he was given a position of honor. when he came out last, you saw him report the president calling him, mr. shift h supervisor. you are a goohid boss. a you put your workers first and r you came outlast. that's what a good boss should do. th that's what this man did. he wanted to be the last man out of the mine. ma

he was given the position. and now after two days of posi. rescue efforts, this is a real t moment of pride and patriotism for a nation that has beenride watching this. >> pride andl patriotism, and a there is an interesting backyo story. re you can remind everybody,all there was a little intramural squabble. - the miners that wanted to beto h the last person out, there was a selection process and he gotes that position of honor. >> that's right., th 33 miners in all. they were divided in threerps. groups. gro the first group were called able and the second group lesssh able. they had high blood pressure, bs lung disease. dis one miner was 63 years old. the final 10 who were deemed the most fit. of all those miners, this man selected by his peers to be

the last man out. man you can see him moving aroundhim and talking to officials and talking to the president withit a great sense of kv and aftw ease -- confidence and ease.unro he is able to tell the priden president, look, make sureake su this never happens again.ai speak his mind to the leader of his country while the restouy of the country, watches in entirety.>>n: >> obviously the entiretire country is in a sell law bragh tore mood as they should be.nc one of the best stories of, heroism. everybody putting their best foot forward. to see this moment occur is amazing. they are still not complete. we have a up in of people, medics and paramedics that were sent down in an effort top help the miners come up.what one of the details in how fast p we expect them to come up, meve? we it has been 30 minutes of rescue. last fiv we expect five of those rescuers who have been downresce there to come up in the next two hours or so. two it has been a major politicalee boost for the president here,ne

one of the most conservative of the region.rs i he put his presidency on the line. he has beeni there less than aer yew. told his advisors say, let's downplay the expectations. he said, no, i have a feelingked they are alive.o, i he put the thrust of his own government behind it. aid he was looking into getting aid from 12 differentlp countries. the u.s. played a significantgnf role. the capsule itself was built w by the chilean navy. na sawen -- nasa engineers playedn a key role in the design and the drilling as well. one of the drills that reached d the miners sooner than s expected, the plan b drill wasew a percussion drill that comes out of pennsylvania. u.s. officials playing a key role in the drilling and in the rescue capsule. and a government and leader wise and open enough to accept aide in saving his own people. >> we will go back to steveerign

harrigan in chile. and now to shepherd smith who. has been following the story. when we were on the air last be night, it was our hope, ourin dream along with the entire, world watching.oment it was that this moment wouldbee occur. la obest case scenario we laid out for our audience that itke would take 36 hours.der and under 22 hours with greatyes efficiency and great skill, all 33 miners are out.ners o you covered a lot of storiesf over the years, and this isthis one of the bes it results i have seen in all of the years ithe s have been covering stories. >> same here, sean. nothing to compare. so often when we work in the midnight hours, it is to and report on tragedy. and to have this before us is astounding.fo toere were so many things that could go wrong.could go wron they had back up plans and redundancies. they had a way for people to for escape from the cylinder as it was uh sending. resc they had a 30-second delay in case something went badly. went they didn't want a private a pr

moment oivf horror to be spread around the world.o none of the precautions areeary. necessary, and we have watched w in wonderment with peopleeopl around the globe as a bit of a a miracle has happened. sometimes in life we over use that word. i remember the day distinctly that we learned the miners were trapped. i remembered many days lateranys that we learned there was noere t t to get to them. and days later when it was when believed they would never be recovered.re and then i remember that day when the note came up, "we are h well, mr. president.not ab we hope you will not abandon us ." and now they speak and i wouldmf love to listen if you would so oblige.o >> you are not going to be the same person. all of you, the miners, areerso not going to be the same.mine the whole entire country is going to be different after this.

>> let's go, louis. h we have to go.. thank you very much. you were the first one whot communicated with us.h us. we are very grateful to you.grao you were here day and night, and now you can rest. the mission, accomplished. i was told i have tos to communicate with 33 miners. thank you very much.ery much go home. d >> and now louis will go homell in the waiting arms of as loving wife, a young daughter, he never met who tomorrow willn turn one month old, and he is no doubt the hero of the nation of chile this evening as we are fast approaching 15st minutes past 10:00. 100 we will learn many more stories, sean, of what it isof

this man accomplished, his incredible leadership from the beginning.m he, of course, rationed the food. he set up the schedules. he decided when day would come and when night would fall. he organized where they wouldld go to the bathroom and wherewoul they would eat, who would take on the chores, who is first wh out and last to go. the last answer was, i will be e here until the last moment be when every man is free.ast mont and tonight he was, and it has been an amazing thing to see. >> you know, shep, it has been an amazing thing to see. s one of the things that inspired all the people is thel impeccable detail that went into this rescue effort. putting together the capsulesule was a feet in and of itself. and drilling the hole, a feet indrih and of itself. the fact that they got down to the knity gritty and the thought of vomiting because of i the claustrophobia, these thoughtfulness of gettingule

their new clothes and thein thoughtfulness of putting communication in the capsule and the thoughtfulness of lights in the capsule, theess back up plan in the capsule didn't work. es there was an escape hatch downbi at the bottom. sending a medical team from the beginning. the asprin in case there was blood clotting. veo the video camera so they could communicate and have somebody to talk to as a means ofmean distracting them throughout dist the process, every bit of my -- minute detail andhis thoughtfulness that went into this is amazing.azing they came in by my count 14 hours earlier than a best casea scenario they were outlining sro thom the beginning.tlying from that's what makes us more make inspiring. >> mission accomplished, chile, it says.hi it is all inspiring. they hoped this would be theth case, sean, they had a back upth plan in case it wasn't. you as one that deals withdeal w politics, politically speakingas

, this is an enormous risk for the president of chile.oth. his popularity was not high, clm and it climbed during all ofhe m this. he made a decision in and ofth himself he would broadcastthe this to the world because henfiw was confident it would work. if it didn't work he had a plan so that everyone wouldn't see what might go wrong.f e thin we don't even have time to wn't list all the things that could thee gone wrong. this was not a shaft that was straight up and down.ve the cable could have broke. a rock could have fallen and stopped the progress.. a man could have had a panicpanc attack. similar that's similar to a hearthe attack. incaps tateing in an similar way. none of that has happened. that's not to say the mission is off. the men that wept down into the mine to facilitate the into rescue are still there. facat it is still a precarious situation, but it is our guess our prayer aand that these men will come up, the

and chiel lie will live to see -- chile will see a day they can celebrate. it won'ton't be long before dais day is a national holiday across chile and the world celebrates the chilean people. >> shep, it is a story of heroism. we can't forget all of the rescue workers and medics and paramedics that risked theirnd own life to go down there,s half a mile down into the m ground, 2,000 plus whatever feet. last night we were on thism very program we didn't havessur assurances everything would go as well as it did. we had the one moment where there were reports that theport door, they thought there what a is a problem, but a little nervousness caused across thess board, but obviously that was w not a problem, and they wereth able to expedite the processable and move along more quicklyes than they ever would imagine. you are right. could a lot could have gone wrong.wron one small thing goes wrong, h and this could have been put back for perhaps hours, dayscoud or even weeks..

everything went well. we appreciate your coverage inad staying with us. ecia but we first now have to go towt adam who is live in chile. he is standing with the niecey g of one of the rescued miners.mi take it away. >> it was quite a moment here. we saw the moments of really celebration take place a fewa hundred yards from where we are right now. this is a location where people have been here since the august fifth accident.th some started that day and. others didn't come until 17 lays later. it was a situation of hopehei coming from the top down and fro from the bottom up.from p from the president down. for people like pamela and her i family, all the way up. her uncle came out and he was number 27. for so many hours they waited. h i had a chance to talk to her, e and i will ask her a couple questions now. ithis country?her how is this moment

for your family and for the whole world? >> very happy -- go ahead. it is a spectacular moment. she says that thanks to god also, it is basically all rebirth, a rebirth for her uncle and this country and all a of these men. how many days was your family here? she is one of the families, guys, that has been here since n the fifth of august. i asked her a moment ago whatf . they are going to do? >> celebration. she said for many times it saidr will be a ver my long celebration. she was talking about all of the family here celebrating when the last miner came up.when

it has been told there are u five regs skew -- rescuers. are five will be coming up.omin those men had to come down and an anto the area where the others were held so long. when the last miner came up, number 33, the cheer, the 3 horns, and all of the cars the around here parked, the polices, cars and firings, flashing lights and honking horns. it was like you were in theking middle of a new year'she celebration. it i ms a celebration that will go on for some time. the bells of the churches have been ringing across this r country. and it is going to be a day where everyone will remember for a longtime. sean? >> thanks, adam.s we will get back to adam -- i'm sorry, what's that? we have our medical expert who have been standing by throughout this whole process. i can't thank you both forh being so willing to stand by with us.us. doctors, thank you for being

here. scust of the things we discussed, the panic attack possibility didn't happen.an thank god. and being in confinement for that long a period of time, nothing happened. everything worked as well asevew it could, and they did not saw date these guys. i could not do it. i give them more credit than others would. >> we learned over the course of the day how much was donecouf when they were down there.last the last miner who came out i telling people what is day and what is night or they come out disoriented and they are down there in 86-degree heat -- >> doctor, hang on one second. the president of chile is drege, taking to the microphone andhil we willisen to him. -- will listen to him. >> god will never put us a load that we can't face. the earthquake we confronted

with courage. and we are almost over the 200 years anniversary we wept through together. celee and now we celebrate the rescue of the miners together.ts wa.s is the chilean way that means the right way. united, with hope and with happiness. a that's what it means being a team. i just spoke to the shift an supervisor, and he disbaif -- he gave over his shift to me. i wanted to tell him that he was a shift boss that inspiredsr righ the one that gave us the rightwo words, the last one who cameay

out of the mine the way a boss ths to show respect to the people that are working withorki him. i want to also thank the families of the miners. the families kept these beliefs, these hope that can move mountains. the rescuers that gave t everything that was such success. all the people that gave everything possible to succeed. they gave words of support. a gesture and a smile. you they felt the support of all of the chileans. they can say that chile today is not the same.

it was 69 days ago. ms the miners are not the same. they got buried in, and nowly de they are different people. and chile is also a new chile,re much more respected, much more valued. the world over. it ended everything as aryth blessing of god. god. it started as a tragedy, but the unity, the face -- the, faith, the commitment, the loyalty while the chileansd showed this for scikt 9 days -- 69 days, it shows pride. w and havehappy that god was with us. i have the feeling and i will wa tell you that chile is ready to confront great things.ny

we are ready for any challenge use future should give us. and i can only say, long live chile. sometime emotions are going inward and one fills them and that can't be expressed. the when i saw the face of the last miner when he came out from the depths of earth i was so excited and so emotional t that i want to tell all chileans i am so proud and i a am so privileged to be a president of all of the chileans. sometimes celebrations and

right now all over chilean squ square. right now we have celebratingela en the heart of all chileans. i heard the bells in the entire chile, the church bells. uns oh the way until louis, the last miner, came up. >> we said the first day.tay >> this is not going to stay like that. the ones responsible, they will have to havethe responsibility. we have to better the system, our attitude, to protect better the life and dignity of our workers.

not only the mining field. the farms, thish ifer res, the industry. we owe it to all the chileans i i hope in the next few days. che.n announce treaty with the workers of chile. look, it was very emotional to receive that word. words of emotion and appreciation. then they say, mr. president, we want to thank all of the chileans, the lesson we spoke to. pside president qhaw -- chavez from and president garcia from peru

and the presidential from argentina. prime minister from england,quay david cameron, prime minister from israel, and very many more. that shows that chile, it was in the heart, not only of o chileans, but we were in thethi heart of the world. the unity, the friendly -- the friendliness and the fate. it was an evening full of excitement, happiness and aaes night that i'm sure will stayrt in our hearts for the rest of our lives.. >> there it is, the president of chile thanking everybody, thanking those worldwide,se thanking the prime minister of great britain and israelihu.

prime minister.hao yo he said we have seen the bestn e of chile and talked about godbot being with them throughoutthem r this ordeal.th of he talked about the fate of the last miner who had gu come t out and just been rescued, ho ident how it was the depth of the earth. this and he said this is a momentd of celebration. nginommented on how the church bells were ringing. to we go back to chile and speak with steve harrigan, and nowhroe through this celebration.eve steve? >> sean, real emotional upsor and downs for the nation as thea they watched this drama unfolde now for more than two months time. initially 17 were feared dead, and once they were i did covered there are questions about whether it would be possible from an engineeringth

standpoint. they put their muscle and influence and openness behindoph the effort.s it is hard to find flaws in how the operation has been ha carried out.out. it has been presented openly pre and on chilean television. ti anytime they had a nag theref was a plan b.rill a drill made in pennsylvania just reached thee miners., i think people are emotionally m wiped out.gl it has been a sense of pride on a number of levels. a people are proud of how they behaved. just they did not sit around and waste to get rescued. - they were on their own. they played an active role in en forking discipline in surviving under underground for two months. o in is a billionaire president who laid his presidency on the3

line to save 33 miners. he put his own political future at risk and denied his advisors to do what he thoughtt. was right. what to do what his gut told him. and he was very right in deed. i proud ile is proud of the world and attention and momentsh in the spotlight. the a is not for an earthquake and natural disaster. steve, back to you.chie >> all 33 miners trapped for 69 days have been rescued.een the effort too, rescue, the paramedics, medics and thoset sent out to help the miners mirs continues with us.ery we have to take a quick break. i our fox news coverage wentinues. we will have more on the challes medical challenges these ie miners will face in the bays com and weeks to come. we will have more on the fox newschannel.

adam? >> reporter: a lot of smiles, as you might imagine. everyone high-fiving, blowing horns, flags are waving everywhere as the first rescuer has safely made it up. there are four more to go. the celebration has already begun. juan's brother-in-law -- he was number 24. which means 23 people before. they knew he was alive. they knew he would make it. you see these flags

everywhere. this is the flag of chile. the 33 has been written everywhere. you see the different sayings they have here. right there, there he is. you will see the pictures. the angels of the by centennial, less than a month ago. these men have rallied this country around that time. their celebration back then in september wasn't as large as it normally would have been. they are saying now they are going to have a massive celebration here, as you might imagine. the family is very happy, very content. very emotional. same thing we heard, a rebirth he says of all the men, of his brother-in-law. how many days have you been here? he was here the day after the

accident. we are hearing those stories too. last night we talked to you, they came in the 17th day when they found out their loved ones were alive. when that note came up on the drill bit and they heard tapping. people like juan here and some other families have held vigil here since the 5th or 6th of august. living in desert, no trees the conditions are very extreme. the hope came from below, and it came from the top, from the president himself. it spread throughout the country. spread across the globe. tonight it is quite a celebration here. that's the helmet that his brother-in-law wore when he came up. he said he's not going to take it off. >> sean: i don't think i would take it off either. one quick question. we just her the president of chile and his comments about how they came out of the depths of the earth. he's so emotional.

he's proud to be the president. he talked about the faith of the last miner. how they all stood together. if there is a back story, politically speaking this president put every single thing on the line politically. he also reached out to other nations, including the united states, our own nasa, they had a big impact in helping this successfully effort. >> reporter: it is interesting too. the neighboring bolivia, the president of that country came here because his miner was stuck. there's tension between the two countries. part of the reason why was before this happened, the president in this country has strengthened ties with the united states. even though they are already a strong trading partner. he's gone away from that leftist movement and stepped out in front. he didn't necessarily win a lot of fans by doing that. from the beginning, as shep talked about, as the people here remember, he has said these men are alive and we

will get them out and they stood behind him. he took that stand and it it has rallied this nation. it took us 11 hours to get here because there are not many flights that come into this part of the country. everywhere we went, you saw pictures of him, the miners, tv, magazines, newspapers, everyone talking about it. they knew we were american, because we didn't speak the language, it is broken spanish. they were excited we were coming. they were excited the world was involved. they wanted their men out. tonight it is a very proud moment for this country and this president. one that will be remembered for the ages. for these families it will be remembered until the day they die. >> sean: special tribute to you and steve harrigan looks like you might have been drinking that special diet prepared by nasa because i doubt you slept much in the last 36 hours. >> reporter: no, four hours since saturday night.

i know harrigan, he slept in a tent down here when we arrived. no place to sleep. for a few days to see, i would do it over without hesitation. >> sean: we appreciate your live coverage. we'll give you a couple days off when you come back. not that i have any official capacity to give anybody any days off. we'll get back to you our own adam housley. thank you for being with us. back to the doctors. you have been amazing, thanks for your patience. you were talking about remote medicine. i think you were making a critical point about how important that was. >> nasa has been involved with that up in the space station and before that in the rockets, apollo. they know what they are doing with this. there's a hats off for the nasa doctors that have been able to do that. this is the medicine in the future in any case. being able to monitor people from 2,000 feet up. look how they walk out! we were expecting them to be

in much worst shape. the exposure to methane gas, carbon monoxide gas, some might have had heart problems. there's a miner that had kidney problems, diabetes, plenty of high blood pressure. we don't know how this is going to pan out with the stress as they reacclimate to society. >> sean: we discussed this last night about post-traumatic stress disorder which is going to be a concern. can we draw any conclusion what watching them one by one come out of that mine, seemingly, fine. which is remarkable, considering the amount of time they've been down there, perhaps deceptive by drawing that conclusion? >> right now we are seeing a big rush of adrenaline. we need to watch for signs of post-traumatic stress syndrome. miners will acclimate well there's a good chance they will come out emotionally and mentally very well. miners have a special strength any way, a mental strength to be able to go down to those

mines for 24 hours, 12 hours at a time to go into small, -- places, and deal with the stress. my dad worked on the mines as a young person. he speaks about that to me all the time and says this is a real struggle for them. it is for the rest of us, for them it is okay to do it. they a tremendous amount of communication with their families as well and the outside world that lessens the degree of separation sigh >> the teamwork is unbelievable. they bonded, they had certain roles, one was the poet, psychologist, the other driving the truck. >> sean: one was the preacher. by the way, i understand that we now have, i guess one of the paramedics, medics and those that were risking their life to go down there. as you can see in the video. i don't have the best eyes. apparently they are if beginning -- they are beginning the effort of bringing those guys up. back to the medical question

here. the idea that they thought of the aspirin. that nasa donated that high calorie drink for them so at least reduce the chances they would vomit on the way up. the fact they were thinking about all of these medical issues, light, communication, preventing panic attack, claustrophobia, pretty detailed. >> they a company that made a vital sign belt they wore on the way up. that drink you mentioned is incredible. it was a high calorie drink for people under stress that helped them get to the top. >> sean: our first rescue is being load into -- loaded into the capsule. all 33 miners have been rescued. we will continue to monitor the final four rescuers, as our coverage on the fox news channel continues.

>> sean: this is a fox news alert. all 33 miners have been safely brought to the surface. members of the crew that

executed this heroic rescue are now reaching the surface as well. for more we go to richard in chile helping to operate the drilling equipment used to free the trapped miners and just returned to the states yesterday. also tom foy joins us a survivor of the creek mine flood of 2002. both work for center rock, inc. guys welcome and thanks for being with us. >> thanks for having us, you are a great american. >> sean: you are a great american my friend. by the way, both of you guys are. first of all, i don't think we give miners enough credit for the hard work they do, those that are in the coal mines the difficulties, the risks they face. can you explain your role in helping this? i know you got back yesterday. >> we brought new technology down that basically affected an early evacuation of the miners. when we first heard about this

and then 17 days later they found the miners and they were alive and estimates were getting them out by christmas. that wasn't an option for us. we pushed and prodded and we got ahold of the right people with the chilean government. they trusted us and our plan to let us come down there and use our technology. on the 33rd day of us drilling we broke into the mine. >> sean: you faced a lot of the difficulty, virgin rock. maybe you can explain how you came up with this plan. the very narrow margin of error for you and the engineers involved in all of this. and why you had to go in at a little bit of an angle. you had to avoid certain situations. i -- it was risky from the beginning. >> high risk. the biggest thing we had going on our side, there was a 5 1/2

inch exploration hole that was used to help find the mine there's was already into the mine. our plan was designed around following that hole. we made the first path and opened it from 5 1/2 inches to 12 inches all the way into the mine. in fact, we were at control of the drill rig when they broke through and the miners filmed the bit breakthrough the roof of the mine. it was a big moment that was the highest risk part. if we had lost that pilot hole we would have undoubtedly never had found that mine again. we enlarged it from 12 inch to 28 inch with another set of tools that we made. >> sean: it is an engineering feat, you right. christmas, i can't imagine 69 days down there. these come up and they all seem, this is a best case scenario.

moments away from members of the rescue crew. there's the medics and the rescue workers that went down there to assist these miners in their effort to get these 33 guys out first. now the effort to bring them up is ongoing. we expect momentarily that one of those rescue team members is going to be brought when that happens we'll have that coverage for you. we have more in terms of the medical problems and issues these miners might face as time goes on. tom, want to get your background on the quecreek incident and what you think these guys may be facing. a lot more to come. we still have a number of rescue crewmembers coming up. as that happens we'll have it right here on the fox news with capital one's vture card, we get double mi on every purchase. echo! so we earned a trip thgrand canyon twice as fast. uhoh. we get double miles evy time we use our card. i'ltake these. no matter what we're buying. plus the damas.

and since double miles add up quick, we can bring the whole gang. it's hard to beat double miles. no, we ride them. [ male announcer ] get the vente card from capital one and earn double miles on eve purchase, every day. go toapitalone.com. what's in your wallet? oh, that's the spot!

>> sean: this is a fox news alert. we are just told that another rescue worker has made it up

top now. on top of the 33 miners that have been rescued from the mine in chile. the rescue worker has returned to the surface. these were the medical people that went down to help these miners and prepare them for the lone trip the 15, 20 minute trip up to the surface after being down there for 69 plus days. we continue with richard and tom in the quecreek disaster. tom, what do you think in terms of the aftermath having lived through this yourself, some of the challenges these guys are going to face? >> they are going to have medical problems. right away, right now, don't think it will. you will have flashbacks of what happened down there and stuff like that. i was down probably for a year and a half we was on medication and everything for post-traumatic stress and stuff like that. you just can't keep busy, you can't sit down, just keep thinking about it.
