Whether or not you've seen the movie "The 33" you won't want to miss the new SME exclusive Thought Leaders Podcast “The San José Mine Rescue; Jim Stefanic commemorates the five-year anniversary of Plan B.”

In this timely interview, Mr. Stefanic, one of the architects of the successful Plan B Rescue of 33 trapped Chilean miners, joins SME’s Senior Editor Bill Gleason to speak about the seemingly insurmountable engineering challenges and events that took place. Stefanic was called to the scene in Chile’s Atacama Region just days after the 2010 collapse. In this podcast he talks about his team’s efforts to locate the trapped miners despite the depth and the uncertainty of the situation. Stefanic shares with us the technical challenges and the power of faith in the rescue that captivated the attention of a world-wide audience.

You are also invited to revisit ME’s 2010 coverage of the dramatic rescue of the 33 miners in this web exclusive only at Mining Engineering online.
