Miner #4 is Bolivian — they were just given small Bolivian flags to wave.

Ahhh - thank you!

So many of these guys are so young, they’ve got their whole lives ahead of them thanks to this rescue *snif*

Good Morning all:

Bolivia has been very vocal and sometimes agressive toward Chile since the losing The war of the Pacific to Chile and a big chunk of land to Chile, a war they started. Evo Moralas, the Communist President of Bolivia uses the land claim issue to whip up hatred of Chile when ever he can. Chile’s effort to rescue a Bolivian miner and giving him a Bolivian flag to fly on Chilean soil will mean a lot to the people in Bolivia as will the greeting he was given by Pres. Pineda.
