The men, aged 62 and 56, are believed to have kept warm by lighting a fire and building a tent out of plastic.It comes during a period of national mourning for South Korea, after more than 150 people were killed in a crush in the capital Seoul last week. They were finally rescued on the night of 4 November - more than nine days after their ordeal began. Both were able to walk out of the mine and were taken to a local hospital. Their doctor said they should make a full recovery."Thank you and thank you again for coming back safely from the crossroads of life and death," he wrote on Facebook.
The rescue operation began on Thursday when emergency workers drilled a hole and inserted a small camera in an effort to locate the miners, according to South Korea's Yonhap news agency.
