BREAKING NEWS

SAN JOSE MINE, Chile — Chilean miner Florencio Avalos was the first of 33 miners to reach the surface Tuesday night after spending 69 days trapped a half-mile below in a cavern.

Mario Sepulveda was the second, and he handed out rocks as gifts before leading cheers by crowds standing by. "I'm so happy!" Sepulveda yelled, grinning, punching his fist in the air and hugging everyone in sight.

The third miner up was Juan Illanes, 52, who greeted family and was then taken away on stretcher.

Two hours earlier, Avalos hopped from the shoulder-wide rescue capsule under his own power.
