Chile leader tells mom her son will be first out
None
The man tentatively chosen to be first out of the mine where 33 men have been trapped for more than two months is a shy father of two who was caught along with his brother when the mine collapsed.
Shortly before the rescue was due to start on Tuesday, Chilean President Sebastian Pinera teased journalists at a news conference that he was pretty sure the first one out would have the last name of Avalos. But Maria Silva said the president himself had told her it would be her son Francisco Avalos. Avalos, 31, is married and has two children. (AP)
