Hi Susan
It's wonderful news isn't it.. I was watching it yesterday live too.. and reminded me of when those Tasmanian miners were trapped... can't remember how long those guys were down there.. but the Chileans have been trapped longer than anyone before.. It's so uplifting.. Gives one hope.. the impossible is maybe not so impossible at all!!!
Viva Chile!!! xxx Julie
What they must have gone through. Very strong men. Hope they get everything good in life from now on.
So inspiring. So cool!
I can't imagine how scary that was. This area is riddled with coal and zinc mines and I have heard many stories from people who have lost a family member in a mine accident.
It was pretty amazing and fantastic that they got out!
Yes, it's been a BLAST watching it unfold!!! So relieved to know there were no accidents along the way. Flawless, they say!!!
Wasn't it breathtaking? It is the complete opposite to what we usually sit and watch....crime, pain, blood and guts.
This was a triumph for the human spirit globally. How cool is that????
