Time Out says Rate it

A display featuring the 'Fénix 2' capsule, which was built to rescue 33 miners who, in October 2010, became trapped underground at the San José mine, Chile. Made of steel and fitted with enough oxygen-enriched air to last the 20-minute journey to the surface as well as communication equipment and retractable wheels, the capsule, which was designed by the Chilean navy, successfully rescued all 33 miners, who had been trapped in the mine for 69 days - surviving longer underground than anyone in record.
