chilean miners

Have you heard that phenomenal story of the Chilean miners?

I suppose you'd have to be living under a rock to have NOT heard that story by now. It's really quite phenomenal. Miraculous. The people of Chile went wild, and understandably. Mining is such a big part of their lives, and to discover that these men survived for so long- well, you'd need barricades to hold them back. And not those flimsy little stanchions with velvet rope- you'd need hard core crowd control. Because joy like that just can't be contained.

Of course, the next few months will be the hardest. I just can't imagine waiting in a confined space like they are, waiting for them to get you out. Thank heaven they have some boreholes, so that they can send down food and water, as well as some games and letters. But even with that, it will be difficult. Those men are tough as nails though- to have survived for 17 days while they waited for rescue, you'd have to be.
