Yes, they were so incredibly lucky to have been found alive after 17 days and kept alive with help from the surface. I bet the relatives are so excited and it's a miracle. Truly a miracle.

There was some early bickering about who should foot the costs but thankfully that disolved into the background.
There was talk on the radio this morning that not only were the wives waiting but also in some cases the mistresses - together!
Brilliant outcome regardless.

That's been an excellent demonstration of how well a really bad situation can turn out, when people can work together to deal with adversity.
I applaud those miners' resolve!
They have overcome many adversities that many would have crumbled under!

They have half of them out now and are still working to get the rest.

hmmm.....two months, dark room, nothing to do. The girls might get a surprise if someone cums up as a couple :eek:
all kidding aside I'm super glad they are safe and alive. I know I would not want to go threw that.

It should definitely be the company who own the mine. It all happened because of their own lack of safety considerations.
I love the human story behind all of this. The fact that mistresses have been involved too is a little bit interesting no? :tongue:
Sadly, I heard that one of the men won't have some family there, they chose not to come because they "fell out". So even in the spotlight of humanity and kindness, some grudges are maintained by some truly brainless people. :rolleyes:
