As long as it doesn't star Alec Baldwin with his pompadour 'do, I might watch it.
There was a true story about a similar incident that occured years ago - the miners had been trapped, and the silence was so total that the ticking from their wristwatches was driving them mad. They threw them all in the water to escape the noise.
I have been spelunking (caving for you virgins) several times in Kentucky in one of the largest pristine caves in the country. Because almost all of the entrances are on private property, it is completely undeveloped. There are passages where you literally have to take off your helmet and fannypack, and turn your head sideways so you can worm through. I probably would have to lose about 40 pounds if I wanted to do it again.
I was thinking, if something ever collapsed, how the hell would I ever get out? I can't imagine the mental strain these miners were under. They should get combat pay and an immediate retirement package.
I nominate Mel Gibson for the roll of Governor!
