another case when people almost leave the attempt of rescue ,they even declare them death
This reminds me the incident in the early 70's when and airplane passenger survive in the Andes ,remember the movie"Alive"a movie based of a real incident?
this is a miracle ,But I'm watching the Chilean TV and expert says they will need months to be rescued ..

That is not good, I hope they get out okay.

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

Talk about a "good news/bad news" scenario... Undecided

But at least they are not completely isolated; being able to communicate with the surface should help them through this.

I'm just wondering now, in similar circumstances, would you go back down the Mine again, (or any other underground Mine)?

I suspect they will have a difficult decision to make now, assuming other, well-paid, local work above ground, will be difficult to find for them... Shocked

Glad to see that they are all out, OK...Well done to the Rescue Team...amazing bit of engineering!

The guy with the mistress was probably like: "No, I'm fine down here, you guys go enjoy yourselves." Grin

So, the moral of the story is that if you don't want to work, but still receive a ton of money and full benefits for the rest of your life, stick yourself in a potentially compromising situation (that few others have access to) for a while, and make sure you bring a video camera. Cheesy

Great work by the rescue teams. Looks like it was a flawless rescue.
