Join us for the second part of The #Chilean #Mining #Disaster which occurred in 2010, when thirty-three miners were trapped after a 770,000 ton chunk of the #mountain BROKE OFF and fell into the mine.

It took the owners of the mine more than an excusable amount of time to alert authorities to the #accident. When emergency response teams eventually went into the #mine, they were confronted with a monumental task - drill to more than a half a mile through extremely tough, #Diorite rock in as short a time as possible.

Added to that, no-one knows if there are any #survivors because there's no way to contact them. And any surviving miners, equally, have no way of contacting the surface. At this point, it's a guessing game for miners and rescuers alike.

This is the 2nd part of a two-part story about the amazing rescue of #The33.

Join us in this episode as we take a gander at The Chilean Mine Disaster at the Copiapo mine in 2010, where 33 of the 34 men on shift that day were trapped.

A 770,000 ton chunk of the mountain, sheered off and fell into the mine, completely blocking the access ramp, leaving them no chance of escape.

There's lots of human ingenuity on display here, that should rightfully be admired and some not-so-bright decisisions that deserve much derision, but we'll leave that to up to you.

Tune in and listen to part 1 of a two-part series about the heroic rescue of thirty-three miners trapped half-a-mile beneath the surface of the Earth, in one of the harshest environments on the planet.

This is a story of an amazing group of people surviving against the odds and an equally amazing group of people coming together to rescue them, against ALL odds.

In The History of #Teeth part 2, we finish looking at more recent #DentalPractices.

We look at the #hygiene people used to undertake (and "undertake" is a deliberate choice of word, listen to find out why)!

We talk about oul #George #Washington's choppers and how great they were (spoiler alert: they weren't), the pain-killing techniques used back in the day and just how amazing dentistry is nowadays. There's an awful lot to be grateful for considering where the practice of looking after your teeth has come from.

Join us as we give thanks to the fact that we have people brave enough to want to help people own a beautiful smile because it wasn't always like that!
