salu2.

STJ.
KORITFW!

FUERZA MINEROS!

larga vida a los mineros!

Actually, I'm right here.

I hope someone drops them a netbook so they can twitter about it.

Rescue workers get through with them by telephone.

We almost cry after hearing their voices.

i am sure they will get online and thank you when they get out.

You know, Jesus was 33.

Holy shit! & Jesus was also a...carpenter.

Carpenter...The...Carpenter...

The Carpenters....

SONIC YOUTH did a song by the Carpenters...

it all makes sense now.

Sonic Youth Collapsed that mine with their wall of SOUND!

stop it some more! hahaha

let's hope this doesn't end with a worst case scenario!

the thing si they will have to maintain their mental health. they can give them food and water but maintaining sanity after being underground for 2-3 weeks, and being told "it will take about 4-5 more weeks to get you guys out"

fuuuuuucckkkkkk

There's gonna be some tension down there man.

a la mierda, no sabía de esto.

fuerza mineros!

Send them down some sleeping pills so they get some adequate sleep. What a shame the mine owner is already planning to declare bankruptcy as soon as they get out. Given he was already warned it wasn't safe now let's avoid loosing my money. To bad he isn't in there with them.

This is when people like me who question the existence of a God, pray to God anyways just in case. God be with them!!!!

Yeah, their mental state is a big concern. If they can just hang on!

If you believe in God, Allah, Budda, or any higher power, say a prayer.

i been prayin. i could not imagine that.

Ultimately, it will be their faith and their families that will keep them sane.

they must all get to a 35 inch waist so they can fit into the hole they will all be pulled out of. claustrophobia! it takes several minutes to lower food down,. imagine how long they will have to wait in the dark of a 36 inch diameter tube...

and they are NOT telling them how long they will be down there BTW. It will take at least a month and a half more to drill the rescue shaft.

I heard yesterday that some of the overweight workers may have lost around 19 lbs. so far...

They had survived the previous weeks by sharing food. each one got a spoonful of canned tuna, a spoonful of milk, and a tiny bit of water I think A DAY. They rationed it for themselves before they were discovered. messed up man.

*edit* today the Chilean officials finally decided to tell the miners they will be down there for at least another two months....maybe 4
