33 of 39 trapped miners reach the surface

Thirty-three of the 39 miners trapped underground at a mine in northern Ontario have climbed to the surface, and the rest are expected to join them later today.
The workers have been stuck in Totten Mine near Sudbury since Sunday afternoon, when an accident damaged the elevator, known as a cage, that normally carries them in and out of the mine.

The workers were stuck at levels of between about 914 and 1,219 metres underground. Toronto’s CN Tower, in comparison, is about 550 metres in height.
Mining company Vale announced on Monday night it was “relieved and delighted to see these individuals returning to surface safe and sound.”
