If #Julen is near the stop in the bore hole (approx at -72m) they expect to find him in 20 - 24 hours. If #Julen is not near the stop in the bore hole, but for example near the bottom... nobody knows how many days or even weeks it is going to take. #Totalan
Yes, in fact they will even insert a camera within some hours from now. They will first drill 1+ meter the normal way, and then drill with a small diameter straight to the hole where #Julen is, so they can insert a camera. But if he's far down, the problem will be getting there.

No miner stays in the mine, and #Julen is a miner right now. This is the motto of the Mining Rescue Brigade these days.

Members of the Mines Rescue Brigade sent from Asturias (region) have just accessed the vertical well to start excavation ... in the search for Julen," said regional government representative Alfonso Celis at the site.
Miners working in rotating shifts will dig a 4-meter passage with picks and pneumatic hammers from the bottom of the shaft towards the borehole, which is 100 meters (300 feet) deep and just 25 cm wide.

I feel like every time there's an update it calls for "another 20-24 hours." How hard this must be on everyone involved. Hopefully things go smoothly from this point and his poor parents will be able to take their son home.
I have no knowledge on what it must take to set up an operation like this but reading through the updates I am struggling to understand why it has taken so so long to get this thing underway. Thoughts are with his parents.
