Yesterday they were able to remove the 33 Chilean miners trapped below ground for 69 days and the six rescue workers that went down to help prepare and load them. This has been an ongoing situation that has given me the heebee jeebee's everytime I have watched anything to do with it.
Yesterday I spent most of the day glued to the TV watching as they pulled them out one by one until about 9:30 they pulled the last rescuer out. Every time the Phoenix 2 started the upward ascent my insides would turn over and tie up---guess I was never cut out to be in tight places.
This was a great accomplishment in the history of mining---never before have miners survived that long. The Chilean President put all of his political cards on the table for this rescue---all I can say is---WELL DONE!!!!

I know I would not like to have been in their shoes - I love that so many great people volunteered and came together to make this rescue possible
