October 12, 201015 yr http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/39625809/ns/world_news-americas/ So basically two months ago, 33 miners got trapped and the rescue attempt is happening in minutes/hours. You can watch the live feed at the bottom of that link and read the story.They're going to be raised up in a small tube-like thing... It's really narrow and it reminds me of a casket. I'd be scared as hell... What do you think? "Only by going too far can one find out how far one can go." T.S. Eliot
October 12, 201015 yr Like you I'd be freaked out! Then again, if you are going to work that far underground everyday in those conditions I doubt that little ride up would scare you . I'm amazed that they survived that long, and kept their calm. Hope they are all returned to the surface safely :)
October 12, 201015 yr Awesome. I actually must say that I'm tired of hearing about it on the BBC. Yes, it sucks, but they will get rescued. Now, how about something on modern slavery? "Those who give up their liberty for more security neither deserve liberty nor security." Support transparency... and by extension, freedom and democracy.
October 13, 201015 yr I never understood why this is such a huge story. While it is important, the story seems to be overexposed.
October 13, 201015 yr I've been watching the live feed all evening :oops: It's quite interesting, makes me wish I spoke more Spanish though :( "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti
October 13, 201015 yr I never understood why this is such a huge story. While it is important, the story seems to be overexposed. Because it's the first time people have been rescued from a mine incident after so long, and it's quite amazing that they haven't gone crazy or all gotten diseased from their own waste and what not. the precursor to fresh air and freedom for 33 men trapped for 69 days. No one in history has been trapped underground so long and survived.
October 13, 201015 yr Apparently they have enough of the mine to roam around in that sanitation isn't a huge issue. "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti
October 13, 201015 yr Over two months? That's insane. I can barely stay in the same room for a couple hours.
October 13, 201015 yr Over two months? That's insane. I can barely stay in the same room for a couple hours. Made even more insane by the fact that they don't have books or tv or internet or anything. Damn, after they've been through this they can sit through anything
October 13, 201015 yr I saw the big wooden flag on the rescue site and couldn't help think Chile is just advertising "Don't mine here, this is what happens" :mrgreen: Glad they're finally out though. "The cry of the poor is not always just, but if you never hear it you'll never know what justice is."
October 13, 201015 yr I wonder how they kept themselves entertained. I go insane when I lose internet for a few hours. Get back here so I can rub your butt.
October 13, 201015 yr I wonder how they kept themselves entertained. I go insane when I lose internet for a few hours.Rock, paper, scissors! Ha, you lose again Bill! Oh I give up that's for 1,487th time this week!

October 13, 201015 yr Hand check!Ah Pablo, where are your hands! On an equally serious note, I read a story some time ago. Just when it couldn't get any worse for the miners, there were two women at the mine site praying for the same dude. They both noticed each other. One was his wife, the other his lover. Cat fight of the century. I figure at least one of the miners doesn't want to surface. Being stuck in a hole might be better than facing your wife after she learns of your infidelity... 99 dungeoneering achieved, thanks to everyone that celebrated with me! ♪♪ Don't interrupt me as I struggle to complete this thoughtHave some respect for someone more forgetful than yourself ♪♪♪♪ And I'm not doneAnd I won't be till my head falls off ♪♪

Yeah, I'd rather stay and hide in that god forsaken mine, then deal with that.
October 13, 201015 yr At the same time, imagine how that miner would've felt... First immense joy and then a second later super-apologetic and guilty... ^ Blog.
October 13, 201015 yr At the same time, imagine how that miner would've felt... First immense joy and then a second later super-apologetic and guilty... Or perhaps both women found a kindred spirit within one another, and now the miner has two chicks? You never know...

I think it's great they're being rescued and it's quite amazing in a way, staying down there for so long. They were under there for 17 days before being found... imagine that? 17 days alone in the pitch black scared that you'll be given up for dead or not even knowing that people know you're there. The media exposure over this is a bit... eh. I suppose 24 hr news doesn't have much else to broadcast though *shrugs* I edit for the [Tip.It Times]. I rarely write in [My Blog].

October 13, 201015 yr I'm pretty sure they all ate each other. So, basically Earthysun is Jesus's only son.
October 13, 201015 yr Good for them, they won't be miners anymore. All the tv show, movie, book deals will make them super rich.
October 13, 201015 yr Sucks that there isnt much news. [hide]Felix, je moeder.Je moeder felixJe vader, felix.Felix, je oma.Felix, je ongelofelijk gave pwnaze avatar B)Felix, je moeder.[/hide]
October 13, 201015 yr Dude, BBC was there for just about all night. "Those who give up their liberty for more security neither deserve liberty nor security." Support transparency... and by extension, freedom and democracy.
