It's good to have a story that had a happy ending,:)

Chile Miners Rescue
 

It has to be one of the most moving pieces of news coverage I've seen in a long time, as the first of the miners was pulled out and hugged his family. I'm not ashamed to say I shed a tear or two.

Re: Chilean miners
 

An amazing story, good wishes to them all and the rescuers...............9 safely out at time of posting :)

Re: Chilean miners
 

10 out now ! ... it is great following this.

There has been discussions that they may need therapy for months to come for a type of post-traumatic stress, etc. Can understand this, sure they will get the very best of support though.

Re: Chilean miners
 

Ya - hoo ... 11. Go capsule go .. :)

Re: Chilean miners
 

How long before we see the movie, with the Yanks doing the rescuing and some evil Brit being the mine owner who tries to cover up the health and safety stuff?

Re: Chilean miners

Driller From Denver Becomes Chile Mine Rescue Hero : NPR ;) :D

Re: Chilean miners
 

Aye. I doubt if this fella from Church and his invention will get a mention. No doubt it's part of the rescue capsule and it's never failed:

Re: Chilean miners
 

Who's going to rescue them from that:rolleyes: :D

Re: Chilean miners
 

interesting , never knew that , have seen them (or very similar) in use fixed to the top of the cage or bucket when I worked underground .

Deepest I ever worked was 4480' four thousand four hundred and forty feet , cockroaches big as rats ;) :D

Re: Chile Miners Rescue
 

Good to see them coming up to the surface. Wouldn't like to be the last man rescued. Imagine you would have to be very strong mentally to volunteer to be last.

Re: Chilean miners
 

It must feel like they are being born again . Come on you can get them out !!!
