Good Luck On A Safe Return Miners!

[BadMoon]

I'm not sure if any of you have been following this story. I've been all over it on a daily basis. Basically to make a long story short there have been 33 miners in South America trapped since August 5th 2,000 feet under ground. It's crazy but they are all still alive. They have been working on getting them out since. Well they hope to have the 1st miner brought up tonight! I hope they all make it out safe and sound. I will be pulling for them.

 

[ProgMatinee]

yeah. this has been an amazing story. really will be interesting to see the fallout of their lives.

i read that there is quite a circus going on regarding the relatives, the media, money, etc.

 

[uscmhicks]

i caught the last few seconds on the news before , have they built some kind of lift that can bring them up one by one ?. That's what it looked like to me but i didn't hear the story. Very clever if so.

 

[ProgMatinee]

yeah. its barely big enough to hold the person, but it looks like its pretty cool. when its all over they should make it into a ride and drop the person into the mine at like 100 mph. it would be like falling into atmo in the capsule in Starship Troopers.

at least one miner is going to get a black eye once he reaches the top.............not sure from who......the wife or the girlfriend............

LOL! Yeah I read about him.

Seriously if I ever have to be caught in a disaster I hope it's in Chile. They have some luck. First the Rugby soccer team that was rescued after their plane went down. And now this. I wonder what they will call this movie?

 

[BadMoon]

They are getting the capsul ready to lower down. I will be watching all night!

 

[BadMoon]

Totally just burst into tears. Wow! A real story, first person out and we are still focused on mcnuggets apparently.

 

[AllisonAmy]

I can't imagine how they must feel.

I can't imagine how they must feel.

When he hugged his child that was it. I lost it.

 

[jinxx]

One of the rescued miners brought back rocks from below as souvenirs! I think that's frickin' awesome!

 

[devilof76]

I've been paying attention to it since it happened. So impressed that these men's lives have been saved.

Can you imagine what that first breath of fresh air must feel like?

 

[The ill Jedi]

I've been keeping up with this in bits and pieces, happy to hear they are successfully getting them out!

...first person out and we are still focused on mcnuggets apparently.

On a board populated with *******, that surprises you?

Can you imagine what that first breath of fresh air must feel like?

I imagine that it was like breathing in Scarlett Johansson.

 

[BadMoon]

Hahaha! You made me laugh out loud!

Oh and the 13th miner is out!

 

[devilof76]

I imagine that it was like breathing in Scarlett Johansson.

I imagine it was a lot like it.

i hope their lawsuit makes them rich enough to never have to go back into a mine again............. but more so than that regulate safer conditions for their fellow miners. apparently their company & the whole industry is greedy cost cuttin' fooz.

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

how's come a 3rd rate country like that can get 33 miners out, & we couldn't get ours out?

Dude...long before any lawsuit gets happened...they are already rich from the books/movie rights/talkshow circuit/well-wishing contributions...etc...etc...etc...

And the 19-year-old who is now a millionaire in a country that he only needs to be a thaousandaire in to live like a king.

These dudes could pool their money and BUY Chile.
