Reading this reminded me how lucky I truly am. Here are some guys who have had real problems:
SAN JOSE MINE, Chile – After more than two months trapped deep in a Chilean mine, 33 miners are enjoying Sunday tantalizingly close to rescue. Drillers have completed an escape shaft, and Chile’s mining minister says a video inspection shows the hole’s walls are firm enough to allow the men to be hoisted out as early as Wednesday.
Rumor has it that they are “discussing” among themselves-who should go first. No one wants to do it.
A tentative but secret list has been drafted regarding which miners should come out first when the extraction begins in a rescue capsule, probably on Wednesday.
Think about that the next time you turn the channel over to Hannity and his ilk.
