Jynxx 4 Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Once had a chilean girlfriend. Bad blood. woops, hot blood. Probably they cracked and went emotional to a point it disturbs their macho. Link to post Share on other sites

What possibly happened? I can only imagine. 17 days not knowing if anyone was looking for them, if they would ever be located or rescued... Poor B@st@rds. I hope the rescue goes flawlessly.

Jynxx 4 Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 It's great they don't have to wait till X'mas. Went in as nobody, will come out as national heros. Lucky buggers, they survived. Link to post Share on other sites
kkk 7 Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Perhaps being slightly cynical, but I wonder how long their "agreements" last. I suppose they are miners so used to spaces underground, but 10 minutes down there would freak me out. Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted October 13, 2010 Author Share Posted October 13, 2010 considering they have had lawyers contracts sent down to them for all to sign, would say pretty tight? Link to post Share on other sites

panhead_pete 27 Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Well lets just take a moment to focus on the positive here that all these guys are likely to live, although if working at underground mines has taught me only one thing, its not over until its over. It would have been hideous down there after about a week as they probably assumed after such a delay no one was coming. That could break any man. 10/10 for them hanging in there, no matter how. That situation is my second worse nightmare when U/G. The worse is sudden water in rush. Link to post Share on other sites

iiyamadude 6 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I could never be a miner, thats for sure! I don't like small enclosed spaces at the best of times. That capsule. omg! Link to post Share on other sites
panhead_pete 27 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 10 out now - after 70 days. For those that have never been underground when you turn off all the lights its so dark you cant see your hand 6 inches from your face. I'm claustrophobic and must say in some of the tighter parts my heart races. That rescue cage would scare the crap out of me. Link to post Share on other sites
