I hadn't paid all that much attention to the plight of the Chilean miners trapped in a mine for over 68 days but I was aware of them. I cannot imagine working in a mine at all and the idea of being trapped in one, not knowing if you'll ever get out alive is beyond my comprehension.
But now, having watched the first one brought up safely (and hopefully healthy)I was moved to tears. I'd stay up and watch them all brought out (2nd I missed) but can't stay up all night. It looks like it will take about 33+ hours to get them all out. I'm not religious but I hope that they all make it out and that nothing goes wrong over these next hours. I hope they never have to work again--that the mining company will do the right thing and take care of all of them for life. And that they get the psychological help they'll probably need. (I know they're supposed to get it but for how long?)
