Seeing the world again

This blog is about the 33 miners trapped in the mines in Chile and their successfully passing 62 days inside the mines and slowly coming out one by one.

What a tremendous effort was made by the Chile government to make sure that they get the expertise of professionals from various countries to enable them to get the miners out.  Watching the moment in CNBC was as if I watching the Neil Armstrong keeping his first foot on the Surface of Moon.  It took about 16 mts for the miner the first man rescued, a healthy-looking Florencio Avalos aged  31, stepped out of a torpedo-shaped capsule that lifted him over 2,000 feet to the surface.

I understand that last miner out would be 54-year-old Luis Urzua. He was the shift chief when an explosion caused the mine collapse on Aug. 5 - and is credited with keeping his men in line amid the darkness and despair. Urzua kept his colleagues alive until food could be sent down by doling out to each miner just a spoonful of tuna every 48 hours. He said that before he goes up, he'll try to clean up the space in which they have been living as they dont have any place for the garbage.  "We had to be strong," Urzua said in a phone interview with The Guardian of London earlier Tuesday. "I hope to never live again like this, but that's the life of a miner."

What a wonderful Captionship it is.  A truly admirable man and his team members who have come out as heroes from this tragic mishap. 

One more notable thing is that when interviewed, one of them said that we are not 33 miners living in here, but 34 as God is always living with us".  What a wonderful statement.

God, religion is a faith which creates the positiveness and keeps us going in this world isn't.

May these miners enjoy their second lives which has come through their own perseverance, grit
& determination of Chile government to get them out alive and the tremendous hard work of all the global experts
