    Let's not forget - it was American technology, initiative and 'can do' spirit that drilled the hole to bring these guys out alive.

    It really has been a fine example of endurance and the best side of human nature. The men have put up with so much but remained positive throughout - the authorities have all worked together for a common purpose - and their friends and families have proved extremely loyal and steadfast in their support and belief that all would work out well in the end. So great to see them all reunited.

    Big hugs

    Its great they've rescued them,but i dont think i'd like to be the bloke who's Missus and Mistress are both waiting for him to get outta that little cage. I think a deep dark hole woulda been alot safer and comfortable for that poor stupid bugger..Latino woman kinda have tempers!

    Just read about that Boof. The guy probably just wanted to crawl back into his hole.

    All the miners were relieved and thanked all the rescuers for their hard work except the one miner who had his wife and his mistress waiting for him on the surface. I wonder if this was on his mind the whole time he was down there stuck in the mine. Lets hope after 70 days he was able to come up with a story that would save him from being beaten by both these women. LOL.

    It’s great to see that there all above ground now. Just go to show what can be done when the bulls___ is but aside and you get to the task at hand. Good work to all those involved in the rescue.
