last night I was watching the Nova's mine rescue where they pull the 33 miners out in chile and honestly, that was the king of all rescues I have ever heard.

Insults aside, it was pretty neat to see the documentary. They called in NASA to help them with strategies to deal with people in enclosed spaces. The whole weening them back on to food thing was most interesting.
And, Spike, yes there was a major mine collapse in Chile back in like August. the miners were stuck (a mile?) underground for almost three months.

In August? Hmm. Seems like something that the media would have eaten up. Jeez, 33 over 3 months is a lot of poop.

Hence my comment about you living in a mine. This was a media sensation. They had the extrication of the miners on the news.
And yes, they were in a world of shit.
Edit to add: let me google that for you

Why did they get in trouble? It's not really their fault. (Was it?)

I actually wasn't aware that the miners had gotten in trouble. Aside from the one who's wife and mistress showed up at the site.

And, 700 m is a bit shy of half a mile.
(1 mile = c:a 1609 m)
