With the Chilean miners rescued, at least two TV networks, Discovery Channel and PBS, are planning documentaries about the dramatic rescue mission at the end of the month. Discovery Communications has started putting together a special about the Chilean mine drama, which is scheduled on the Discovery Channel on Oct. 28. Called “Rescued: The Chilean Mine Story,” it is scheduled to feature interviews with the miners and their families, as well as the engineers working on the rescue. The company’s Latin America operation took the lead on the production. PBS said Wednesday that its science flagship series “Nova” has had a film crew on the ground at the scene of the mine disaster since Sept. 5 and will air an hour-long documentary on the events, called “Emergency Mine Rescue,” on Oct. 26.
