I saw on the news tonight a live feed of the first miner coming out.

This is a remarkable story of human endurance and survival.

Wives, mistresses, girlfriends stake claims to trapped miners

Some miners will probably wish they stayed down there! lol

Oh my... Almost like some sort of equilibrium isn't it? A show of dedication, courage, hard work and above all human compassion to save them and bring them to the top safely, Only to fins=d some money hungry low lives detracting from the greatness of the event. So sad..
But its is over shadowed by the dedication of the rescuers.
:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Sort of reminds me of the long lost relatives who are no where to be seen when a family member is sick and in need of care, but upon the persons passing find their way 'back'' when they discover there was an insurance policy..

A few decades ago this would not have been possible given the technology at the time. Great to see them coming up. :thumbsup: For some it will a difficult time for years to come. Nice to see a good news story.

I've got an idea for all mines, everywhere in the world: Make it a requirement that there is always a perpendicular or vertical escape shaft drilled---AHEAD OF TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Praise GOD that they survived!

A good idea in theory; but some of these underground mines are so huge that where do you drill the vertical escape shaft(s)?

Right or wrong, the bottom line still rules.

good to hear a story about miners that have survived.

As far as drilling a vertical escape shafts goes, it probably would not work, too many variables to work in.

It was nice to finally see something GOOD in the news for a change.
