The miners are being extracted one at a time and soon everyone will be top side. That was a bad accident that could have been much worse. Mining is obviously very dangerous business as is drilling for oil as we have seen.

For each of the miners, they have their own personal experience and situation. What they proven is how professional they are at sticking together and observing the hierarchy of their chain of command. It was much like a military operation down there and they did a great job.

I especially appreciate how the country pulled together from the top and including the populous. That was real spirit and national courage.
