Trapped Miners in Chile.
« on: October 12, 2010, 07:32:29 PM »
Amazing after 69 days trapped more than 1/2 mile down they're still alive and coming out. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/39625809/ns/world_news-americas/?gt1=43001

   I wouldn't have given them a 5% chance of making it out of there alive.  If they do get them out tonight it is a major accomplishment! =D> =D>  I can't imagine living that long 2000 feet underground.  I guess miners might be more used to it but that is still an awfully long time.

So far two of them out.   =D>

I don't know what would be worse.  Trapped in the constant darkness or the 90F heat 24 hours a day with no air movement.  They are pumped as they come out of the cage but I'm sure they are probably going to pay for that confinement mentally and/or physically for the rest of their lives.

They've all got book deals already, so it won't be too bad.
