The mine rescue in Chile is bringing back memories for one group of fellow miners in the northeastern US state of Pennsylvania.
Eight years ago they were rescued, after a three-day ordeal, using the same method being used by engineers at the San Jose pit.
Sixty-one-year-old Tom Foy was one of nine rescued - it's known as 9-4-9 as they all came out alive - and although he lives in Pennsylvania, his heart and mind are in Chile right now.
