“The six words and one number” goes on to say the British newspaper, “have been replicated on T-shirts, flags and mugs. It has been presented to presidents, prime ministers and even the Queen. It was the sentence written on a scrap of paper, put in a plastic bag and attached to the drill that — 17 days after they went missing — reached the miners trapped half a mile beneath northern Chile’s Atacama desert. “Estamos bien en el refugio los 33,” it read. “We are well in the refuge — the 33”
