According to the national emergency centre in Chile, the area had not seen this amount of snow in close to 20 years. Some areas received up to 80 centimetres (32 inches) of snow, leading to closed roads and stuck vehicles. According to local media, authorities rescued 36 Bolivians on Tuesday, whose bus had been stuck in heavy snow. Local media reported that the passengers may have endured freezing temperatures for up to 48 hours, before being rescued. Denise Canaveri,a passenger, said the group was desperate and had no food. The temperature in Santiago, Chile dropped to as low as -8.5 degrees Celsius (16.7 Fahrenheit) on Wednesday. Other countries in Latin America such as Uruguay and Argentina have also been affected by the cold front.

President Sebastian Pinera showing thumbs up as he flies over mine site on Sunday STORYLINE Engineers reinforced a lifeline Monday to 33 miners entombed deep inside a Chilean gold and copper mine, preparing to keep them supplied with food, water, medicine and communications during the four months it may take to carve a tunnel wide enough to pull them out. A team of doctors and psychiatric experts also arrived Monday at the remote mine, implementing a plan to maintain the miners' sanity as well. Engineers worked through the night to reinforce the six-inch (15 centimetres) -wide bore-hole that broke through to the miners' refuge on Sunday, more than 2,257 feet (688 metres) below the surface. Using a long hose, they coated the walls with a metallic gel to decrease the risk of more rock falls in the unstable mine and make it easier to pass material in capsules nicknamed "palomas," or doves. The first capsules - which take about an hour to descend from the surface - will include water and food in the form of a high-energy glucose gel to miners who have almost certainly lost significant weight since they were trapped with limited food supplies on August 5. Also being sent down are questionnaires to determine each miners' condition, along with medicines and small microphones to enable them to speak with their families during their long wait. Relatives of the trapped miners have set up camp near the Copiapo mine site in north-central Chile. Euphoria that their men survived the collapse and anxiety for what's coming next meant for a sleepless night for the miners' families, who shivered through a cold, foggy night in Chile's Atacama desert. "We didn't sleep," said Caroline Godoy. "They said that new images would appear, so we were up hoping to see them, but haven't succeed in seeing them yet." An enormous machine with diamond-tipped drills capable of carving a person-sized tunnel through solid rock at a velocity of 20 metres (yards) a day was on its way to the ill-fated mine on Monday Engineers also were boring two more narrow shafts to the trapped men to ensure that their lifelines would remain intact while the larger tunnel was being carved. Mine Minister Laurence Golborne was filmed assisting with the relief effort on Monday. "We have stopped the work of the probing machines until we make sure we have secured what we have called the umbilical cord," Golborne said. "The idea is to establish three or four points of contact so that we can guarantee better life conditions to our comrades down there," he added. When the drill broke through solid rock to reach the emergency refuge where the miners have gathered, the trapped men tied two notes to the end of a probe that rescuers pulled to the surface, announcing in big red letters: "All 33 of us are fine in the shelter." Chilean President Sebastian Pinera on Monday said investigations had begun into what had caused the collapse. "We are going to investigate who is responsible for what happened and sanction them," he said. On Sunday the president flew over the mine site. The men already have been trapped underground longer than all but a few miners rescued in recent history. Last year, three miners survived 25 days trapped in a flooded mine in southern China, and two miners in northeastern China were rescued after 23 days in 1983. Few other rescues have taken more than two weeks.

Mid of man digging 10. Various of machine working in mine STORYLINE A surge in the drilling of escape tunnels raised hopes that the rescue of the trapped Chilean miners may come sooner than scheduled. Officials reported one of the rescue drills made twice the progress Tuesday than had been expected. They promised the families that preparations for the rescue effort on the surface would be ready by October 12, and said they are planning for the possibility the miners could be pulled up nearly a month ahead of the official schedule. But the officials also urged caution, warning that unforeseen problems could slow the work. A siren sounded at 5 pm local (1400gmt) on Tuesday in the camp where families have held vigil since a rock collapse blocked the mine's exit shaft August 5. At first, no one knew what it meant, just that it was good news. Then, rescue workers came down to report that the "Plan B" drill had reached 300 metres (984 feet) deep, nearly halfway to its goal, after advancing 74 metre (243 feet) Tuesday, more than twice as fast as expected. At that pace, barring complications, the drill could break through to the miners in about five more days, and be reinforced with a metal sleeve even before October 12. Three drills are pounding through hard rock below the Atacama desert to reach the miners. "Plan B" is a US-made T-130, operated in consultation with a team from Somerset, Pennsylvania, that had experience in the 2002 Quecreek mine disaster, where a similar tunnel was carved to pull out nine trapped coal miners. Many observers had put their bets on "Plan C," a towering oil-industry drill with the power to rapidly carve a separate tunnel to a spot slightly less deep. Now it looks like either drill might be the one to reach the miners first. All AP Television video will be delivered in 16:9 from 10th November 2010.
