Trapped Chilean Miners

Trapped Chilean Miners

I just watched the video of the thirty three Chilean miners, who are trapped half a mile underground, and who are keeping up their spirits by singing their national anthem. I am expressed by their positive attitude.

The men were discovered alive this Sunday, after being trapped for more than two weeks. Food, water and supplies are lowered to them through a tube. "Protecting " the men's "mental and physical health ... has become a major preoccupation of Chilean authorities, especially now that it's clear they could remain in their dark, hot, humid quarters for up to four months or more."

It will take four months for rescuers to cut through the 700 meters of rock to get to the men.

A single moment captured on a video can't show everything, and does often show little much of anything, about what's going on in people's heads. The men survived two weeks without any outside contact. My hunch is that they will be okay.
