25 by 25 living space? 33 naked miner dudes in 30+ degrees of heat?
Only a couple of Coke can-sized bore holes to pass the necessities of life through?
Not out til near Christmas?
That's a grim situation right there.

I hope they all suffocate to death. Of course people care. The thing that's most reassuring is that their fate is now inextricably tied to that of the Chilean president himself. In the media age you can't get a more cast iron gurantee than that.
Their positive outlook, graciousness and patriotism is beautiful and inspiring. I'm really hoping their spirits remain strong and that this all plays out for the best.

Seriously though, I hope these dudes make it. I'm claustraphobic and find the very thought horrifying.
There is NO end to the resources that will be put down that hole with all the world watching.
That said, it has been reported that anti-depressants are being sent down. If that were me, I'd say give me valium for the next 3 months, and I'll be straight
/knockmyassout,makemefeeldopey
this is what worries me most, what happens to these individuals once they get out?
"see you on monday!"
"We dug a hole big enough to send down some picks and shovels. Think you could do a little work while your down there."
The good thing is that a judge has frozen 20 million from themining company to ensure there is money to properly compensate the miners when they get out. Im certain they will get out, cus if they dont then the whole Chilean copper industry will have to deal with the repercusions in regards to lax safety etc.
The main issue for these dudes is that they dont get any respiratory illness or infections while down there, cus that could kill them in the long run. They have enough shit to keep themselves enteratined aparenlty with games consoles, mp3 players, cards and videos of futbol games. If they can make the hole big enough to send down a soccer ball they should be sweet for the next few months.
I thought about starting a thread awhile ago before this Chilean miner tragedy, but I didn't wanna stir the pot bein like AYE YOOOOOOO!
Meanwhile, NOLA is still rebuilding and devastated by the Gulf oil spill, Haiti is still wrecked up, people are in desperate situations flooded outta their small rural homes in Pakistan, and these Chilean miners are in serious trouble. I don't even wanna list the concerns regarding these miners stuck in there, because your hopes of them getting out alive in that timetable would plummet.
Yeah, its seriously fucked how the floods in Pakistan are hardly getting news coverage but trapped miners in Chile are in the spotlight. And I'm not trying to be insensitive, its a tragedy in Chile, and I'm not trying to say one is grander in scale than the other. But Pakistan is totally under the radar. We have drives for Katrina and Haiti understandably, but Pakistan doesn't even get a thread. It just makes me think. I would say Pakistan is just as poor as Haiti too, and the floods are affecting just as many if not more people.
Didn't somebody say this wasn't gonna turn out good? I remember being saddened by the pessimism.
Indeed. The repetitious commentary and wild speculation from our local presenters bought me back to earth with the quickness.
I've been watching it all morning. This is an amazing thing. I know their families are thankful as hell.
