Chilean Miners Struggle One Year Later

One year after 33 Chilean miners were miraculously rescued, nearly half the men remain unemployed and few have been able to cash-in on their fame. According to the Associated Press, ""Los 33" have filed negligence lawsuits demanding $10 million from the bankrupt mine's owners and $17 million from the government for failing to enforce safety regulations, but years remain before any payout."
