its amazing wot they can do when pressured .
if only there safety precautions where as good then this may never have happened but now that they have reached them i hope nothing now goes wrong and they are all brought up safely

Aren't they from Chile? Or are we talking a different thing?

Can you imagine what the famlies felt when they brought up that note that the miners wrote?
I mean, knowing that your loved one was in a mining disaster, thinking they're dead and then 2 weeks later finding out they are alive and well trapped under the surface! It's nuts...
This is really an incredible story...
I read somewhere that the trip down takes 1.5 hours and they have to extract them 1 by 1
but it IS amazing wot can be achieved in two weeks i bet they would not have been so quick if they were dead :!:

"I will promise you this, that if we have not gotten our troops out by the time I am president, it is the first thing I will do. I will get our troops home. We will bring an end to this war. You can take that to the bank." - Barack Obama
when you told me 'if you can't beat 'em, join 'em'
i was thinkin 'death before dishonor'
Off the subject, but funniest avatar ever.

how about the company that employed them? they are responsible yeah? poor safety standards, etc.
the president was talking about making deals with unions in all industries, because of this, agriculture, manufacturing, on down the line.....to increase safety in all industries. something positive will come from this
This is an awesome story!
It's not like we all don't support the industry, you can't help the people just trying to make a living.
Unless you have a thing against pennies and electricity...
Because as the mine collapsed it was a disaster. There was not much hope of finding anyone alive. Then the surprising bit? When ALL of the miners were safe and well and then follows the awesomeness of their resilience and subsequent rescue.
We all know dangers of mining and whatever techonology available, it will never be 100% safe. But someone has to do the job. That's what the people have in that area, that's what they do. Most of them won't have that much choice.
I think a lot of good has already come out of this affair (cooperation, community spirit) and I'm sure a lot more will (from a mining and industrial safety point of view).
the death of anyone is a disaster for their families and loved ones
the death of 33 would be as well
so the rescue of all is fantastic story. a victory over the elements.
with your view piont its not a disaster or eveen sad as they knew what they were getting into. Yep loooks like lots of choice of work in those regions , lots of choice of work NOT
with your viepiont people who die in car accidents are not tragic, they knew the risks
etc etc etc
hey dont touch your computer to respond, its electrical and you know what could possably go wrong
Also, I choose not to get wrapped up in the pretend caring of media stories. It's simply a fabrication of reality in order to bring forth a specific false and fake emotion and reaction. This is a simple case of that. How many of you were so concerned from the Chilean earthquake, compared to this self-inflicted problem? Don't chop at me for be callous when most of you are nitpicking problems to defend.

“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
But it's not tragic they die, since they chose the job anyways.
Same with plane crashes, car crashes, ships sinking, people who get mugged in dark areas, pedestrians hit by cars, etc etc etc.
Unless you are forced to do everything by gunpoint, you pretty much walk into disastrous situations all day!
I really don't get you. Are you trying to say it's their own fault that they were in this situation? That they could have avoided it by not going to work? That, because they live in an area where there is not much work besides mining (which is a job that someone needs to do), they should let their families starve? So their free will would be choosing between mining and food or no mining and no food. A lot of people work in risky jobs - should these jobs not be done?
On the other hand, a cave diver has been trapped in a cave in France after a collapse of some kind for a week or so. Rescue divers are trying to locate him and get him out. This COULD have been avoided as this diver definitely knew the risks of what he was doing for RECREATION. Big difference.
You mean trying to provide for their families and secure the education and future of their children so, maybe, they won't have to go down to the mines, potentially risking their lives, when they are of working age?
