    Default Finally taking miners out of Chilean mine.

    I've been following the story about the miners trapped in the mines in Chile. They finally started taking them out today. They look pretty good for being trapped down there for 2 months.

    There whipping them out now like Beacon was doing in Amsterdam, something like every 15-20 mins, the 31st one is now coming out now, just 2 to go.

    All of them should be done in next 30-40 mins

    It's really incredible and totally amazing the fact that they found them and are in the process of complete rescue after 69 days.

    They all looks good atleast in physical condition. I assume that they will get assistance of professionals as psychologists so they can resume to their daily lives before this accident.

    10/13/10 a day they will never 4get.

    Amid the drama there was room for something funny.
    One miner had two women waiting for him at the exit of the tunnel. His legal wife and his girlfriend. It appears that the man asked not to be rescued .......

    Only one person waiting for him at the exit from what i saw watching his rescue live and the news report i listened to from Sky News said the wife of 28 years was at home and refused to be present or watch it on TV.

    What was not defined is was the woman meeting him his mistress or sister.

    Yonni Barrios was one of the 33 miners trapped underground. He famously asked both his wife and girlfriend to meet him on the day of his rescue, proving that spending an extended period of time underground can make you crazy. Or maybe he was just crazy to begin with?

    I've heard that for the most part they remained sane after being stuck down there in the dark since August 4th. I am pretty sure I would have lost my marbles if I was stuck down there for that long. I'm scared of being in the dark!

    Actually the wife decided not to be there when the miner was rescued but the girlfriend was ...the face on the guy when he saw the GF and not the wife = PRICELESS ...

    But the whole rescue was a wonderful thing to view, it’s amazing how much good it can be done for those in need if the whole world is watching.

    Something similar happened to me once but I was the boyfriend. I was dating a girl for quite some time when I was in my early 20's. My long time girl friend and myself had a date planned for Friday at 6:00PM. She did not show up and was nowhere to be found. At around midnight I get a call from a hospital telling me that a woman who identified me as her boyfriend was in an accident and I needed to come to the hospital. I go over there and was surprised to find that her other BOYFRIEND (fiancee) was with her.

    What a shock! Looking back there were many signs of what was going on, but i was too naive to see them lol.

    One of the many lessons I learned from that one is that tragedies can reveal things normally kept hidden.
