(Copiapo, Chile) -- Thirteen of 33 rescued men returned yesterday to the Chilean mine where they were trapped for more than two months. The men took part in a service, led by Roman Catholic and Protestant clergy, at "Camp Hope." That's the tent city adjacent to the mine where friends and family gathered in hopes that the men would be rescued. Though the service was closed to the press, participants were heard clapping loudly and singing Chile's national anthem.
Meanwhile, the rescued miners are so far honoring a pact of silence about the horrors of their 69-day ordeal, but one indicated yesterday that he would talk if the price was right. Miner Jorge Galleguillos claims the pact is non-binding. The men's saga began on August 5th when the gold and copper mine they were working in collapsed near the northern Chilean city of Copiapo.
Bold is mine.
Cracks begining to appear?
Think it will be long until one or more is on Dancing With The Stars?
The ordeal was amazing and the rescue a miracle. I don't want to take away from that.
Guess I've become cynical.
In a few weeks, after the miners have hit their media tour, the world will vote to sent them all back into that mine for good.
Good Mornin’ A.M!
What did the Chilean miners have written on their shirts?
Psalm 95:4 - In his hand are the deep places of the earth, and the mountain peaks are his, also.

Question: Why didn’t the press cover the fact they wore these tee shirts over their overalls?
Answer: Because the Liberal Media hates any references to God and/or Religion.
Yes, I’ve seen that! What a wonderful aspect to the story and as you point out, the MSM TOTALLY ignored it!<P.
Is it any wonder the MSM is dying?
Can DWTS be far behind?
Not cynical, just a realist. I, too figured that the solidarity between the rescued miners would probably not last too long once they were out. It’s just human nature.
