Re: Chilean miners

Me too, what a great story eh.

They thought they were all killed.

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.

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

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?

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: 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.
