They sent them food and entertainment and kept clean, cold air flowing down through small hole that I think was about 4 inches. The human body is more resilient than you must realize. We can adapt in dire situations for survival.

I'm not talking about the bad conditions, I'm talking about being crushed with rocks. Being stuck underground for 2 months is terrible and all but this is sounding less and less like a tragedy.

It's not like they were drilling around in their little cave while they waited.

I'm glad they're being rescued, but who let Baby Jessica work in a mine in the first place? </jokesnoonewillget>

Izzy · 10-13-2010, 12:00 PM

Well of course not, but obviously they got trapped somehow. It seems really lucky that wherever that happened there wasn't a person there.

I got it, but it still sucked.

It's great news. I always wonder why it took so long to save them, though.

DotKritic · 10-13-2010, 12:04 PM

Reports say that the miners decided to have lunch in the emergency shaft. Smart. And lucky.

edit: Being trapped 1/2 mile below and the only way to get to them is drilling...yeah.

MrRubix · 10-13-2010, 12:09 PM

The incident itself is unfortunate but only in hindsight can we say that it wasn't "tragic." Conditions could have been a lot worse, and the miners were able to receive a considerable amount of aid. Still sucks -- but again, it could have been a lot, lot worse. Being stuck in a mine for a couple months is definitely sucky.

Its a good thing these guys are finally being saved, ahead of schedule.

Even better half of them are free now

I lol'd when the guy with the mistress and the wife was up next to be freed. No one knows if the lady who was there when he came out of the capsule was his wife or mistress.

NFD · 10-13-2010, 08:59 PM

i remember that they were deciding whether or not to give them alcohol, how stupid.

Stupid because they should definitely have been given alcohol?

it's not like they have a hereditary disorder that causes them to die without it

It was probably the mistress. It is common in Chile for a man to have 2 families because divorce wasn't even legal until about 6 years ago. Even now it takes 3 years of separation before the divorce can go through so it's common for them to already be in another relationship by then and a lot of the time they don't even bother getting a divorce and just stay married but start separate lives. More than likely, the wife and mistress knew about each other and he wasn't CHEATING on the wife.

(Sorry for the double post)
