Is it just me, or do ALL the miners look to be in way better shape than the rescuers??
So who’s gonna rescue the rescuers?

It takes guts for those paramedics to go DOWN into that mine.

My husband has been a hardrock miner for 35 years and on mine rescue for many of them. He said the same thing, going down there takes guts.

Those guys are in tune with their environment as a matter of
course. Got to know when you have struck paydirt...or have
broken through to men who are depending on you for their lives!

The Chilean first lady is with some other women. I think that may be the wife of the next miner.

I’m wondering about that pulley contraption. It has some kind of rope dangling off the end of it - aren’t they concerned it might get tangled up with the cable?

The next miner’s wife is waiting and she is very anxious. These last few min. have to be just excruciating for the families.

All it does is keeps the cable centered above the hole.
So it doesn’t rub on the sides and possibly grind or wear away or break.

There’s that dang siren again. Can’t they have a pleasant “ding dong” or something when they get near the top?

"Wonder if ours would show up?"

Oh don't even start. We already know ours would not be proud. Never is.

I just had a thought...

If one of those miners turns around and goes back down the hole do they get six more weeks of winter in Chile?

I know what the pulley is for, I’m talking about the piece of rope hanging off the end of it.

Looks like the miner in the cage is talking up the pipe to the men on top! Much laughter and excitement!
