pam Posted October 9, 2010 Report Posted October 9, 2010 For anyone following the story of the miners in Chile who have been trapped for over 2 months, good news:Rescue drill reaches 33 trapped Chilean miners - CNN.com Quote
pam Posted October 9, 2010 Author Report Posted October 9, 2010 I thought this was an interesting story. Describes what it has been like for the miners.Down below, Chilean miners found hope in family, the little things - CNN.com Quote
captmoroniRM Posted October 10, 2010 Report Posted October 10, 2010 One of the articles I read dealt with the fact that some of these guys are gonna return to very angry wives. One of the miners apparently had a mistress he promised to marry, who with the hoopla surrounding this incident, came to find out that the dude was already married. He'll probably be the last one out of the mine..... The moral of the story according to my wife. "Don't ever cheat on your wife, and you'll never have to worry about her putting a cap in you." Quote

"Don't ever cheat on your wife, and you'll never have to worry about her putting a cap in you."Doubtful. Seeing the amount of time it will take to get them out the mine, and how much weaker the shaft will get each time someone is pulled up, only the very strongest of mind and body will be left until the end. I don't think someone about to face two angry women will be of the strongest mind Quote
talisyn Posted October 10, 2010 Report Posted October 10, 2010 I hope they get out soon. I'd be bonkers by now >< Quote
zippy_do46 Posted October 12, 2010 Report Posted October 12, 2010 They are suppose to start tonight. I can not watch. My prayers are with them and the 2 who are going down to help with the rescue. They are suppose to start about 11 tonight. Quote

I don't think someone about to face two angry women will be of the strongest mind Dunno about that... I heard one miner is arguing over another that he wants to go last because he wants some kind of a book deal that will "set him for life". Yeah, yeah, I don't have a link... just heard it over the radio. Quote
pam Posted October 13, 2010 Author Report Posted October 13, 2010 They've rescued 11 so far. It's taking approximately 50 minutes for each one. Quote
ADoyle90815 Posted October 13, 2010 Report Posted October 13, 2010 They're in the process of bringing the 18th miner up. Quote
pam Posted October 14, 2010 Author Report Posted October 14, 2010 Getting ready to bring up the 32nd. Quote
Wingnut Posted October 14, 2010 Report Posted October 14, 2010 Interesting factoid about the process: The Body Odd - Why the Chilean miners need those $450 Oakleys Quote
pam Posted October 14, 2010 Author Report Posted October 14, 2010 There have been so many interesting stories about it all. The stories about each of the individual men are so interesting. The Elvis fan has been invited to an all expense paid trip to Graceland. The one coming up right now will see his newborn baby for the first time in person. Quote
Jenamarie Posted October 14, 2010 Report Posted October 14, 2010 They're all up! What an amazing miracle! Quote
MsMagnolia Posted October 15, 2010 Report Posted October 15, 2010 I have been amazed at how that country came together to rescue these men. This situation seemed to bring everyone together. I would if it had happened in America if we would have reacted the same way. Quote
Roseslipper Posted October 15, 2010 Report Posted October 15, 2010 i dont have the time to read all the posts to this right now. but I personally think this a wonderful miracle that happened in chilli. Its awesome to see that all the men are ok.....after such a long time in the mine. see miracles do happen. Quote
pam Posted October 15, 2010 Author Report Posted October 15, 2010 Seriously this had me just browsing trips to Chile to visit this country. Quote
