Surprise 34th man emerges from San Jose rescue shaft.
Today the World witnessed the remarkable rescue of 33 brave men trapped roughly 700 meters below the ground in the San Jose mine in Chile since August. Bienvenidos, hombres!
After the last miner had been lifted to safety, crowds were amazed at the emergence of the President of Iran from the rescue tunnel as shown in the above exclusive Al Ahram photograph.
As with events of this sort, amid the joy there was some profound sorrow. An Egyptian citizen, one Mr. Mohammed H. Mubarak, who was scheduled to be the first to come to the surface, has been left behind alone in the mine as the rescue shaft was too narrow to accommodate him. Apparently, the physical description contained in his official Egyptian Government biography - which was used in designing the tunnel - understated his weight and girth. Informed sources have confirmed that he has been provided a chisel and hammer and is slowly working his way to the surface. Suq Al Mal has been told by its sources in Egypt in yet another Suq Al Mal exclusive that Al Ahram expects to publish a picture tomorrow showing him emerging first from the tunnel.
