The Chilean mine disaster that was going on the last two months came to close a few days ago with the rescue of all the 33 miners trapped underground for more than two months. It is the endurance of the human spirit that they were able to survive for such a long time underground. Although the details of the ordeal have started to emerge, it was not all tranquil down there, and it was to be expected. Any person who is healthy enough trapped for such a long period of time, will have some issues when rescued, but overall the dramatic rescue mission captured on the media screen and beamed around the world was itself a miracle.
What it shows you here is that once you have that human determination and will to survive and your time is not up, you can stand up to the elements of nature and endure. For me personally, I would not have been working in the mines anyway but if I were I don’t think so that I would be able to survive in that claustrophobic environment, but maybe I would have if I would have seen what is ahead of me in the future. Anyway I salute the miners for enduring such a long time trapped underground and also the rescuers for taking out all of them alive.
