Comments on "What's a Chilean Mine Worker To Do?"
Am I the only one who thinks about the lack of toilets, Shower to Shower ain't gonna help with that odor!
I do hope they can keep their spirits up, and that the estimate was made long just in case it takes that much time, but that they're able to accomplish it much sooner that expected.
Beth, I've asked myself those same questions.
I've also heard that the rescue shaft will be pretty slim.
All in all, it does not look like it is going to be an enjoyable few months.
At least it is not summer...
Apparently there is a method to their madness.
The escape tunnel will be about 26 inches wide and some of them have already lost up to 20 lbs.
Perhaps we need to send them some crisco instead...
Seriously though, I hope they get them out safely and soon.
At least with Crisco, it will all come back except for one tablespoon...
Mine workers are ok.....they have the essentials items to survive.....because thats the main mission...water and food are the main worry of autorities....mine workers are very strong man....some of the cool items that they just got are: mp3, portable dvd, tecnical clothing, end the most important contact with their families....odors are secondary issues right now....something ironic about this rescue...is that they are using socks made out of cooper, to prevent skin infections....same mineral that they were diging out.

I'm in chile right now, and it's very interesting to see what's happening to these men and their families. Until recently, the mining company wasn't even going to pay them for the time they were unable to work because they're trapped in a mine! But yes, they're all men because it's bad luck to have women in the mine...
Diana, how much more bad luck could there be, I mean of course barring death...
