Is it true that the CHILEAN miners were hoist manually, without the use of a engine connected to the rope? I heard that by a friend, for security purposes they didnt want to use an engine.
First of all the miners were not connected by a rope, they were attached by a cable that lifted up the tube that they were in, and to lift a cable it has to be done by a motorized winch, just look at the footage and you will not have to ask this question.
they had an engine that was a lot of weight to pull up a half mile
