They only planned to be inside for an hour, but a sudden, heavy monsoon rain began, rapidly flooding the cave's narrow passages and trapping the team deep inside.

The Unbelievable Chile Mine Rescue
It is August 5, 2010, at the San Jose Gold and Copper Mine in Chile. More than 2,000 feet below the surface, a couple of miners notice a faint rumbling sound echoing through the rocks. The miners have heard rumblings like this before as the rock adjusts to new excavations, but today these rumblings are much more frequent than usual. The time is 2:00 PM, and the workers are trying to wrap up as much work as possible before they will be picked up by a work truck to go to the surface for lunch. Suddenly, they hear something much louder than the previous rumblings. The blast sends those working on the higher levels to the ground and causes the tunnels and shafts to collapse. Large rocks tumble down, sweeping across the workers, and all they can do is hang onto them and ride it out. The San Jose mine has just collapsed, trapping 33 men beneath the surface.
