Have you heard about the trapped miners in Chili?
The scoop is that they won’t be getting out for possibly months!
There are 33 trapped Chilean miners who have been trapped 2,300 feet underground since a rockslide cut off their exit route on August 5. They say that drillers could take three to four months to reach the subterranean chamber, Chilean authorities have estimated.
Humans can survive in extreme environments, such as the 540-square-foot space the men share. But this kind of prolonged confinement with darkness, crowding and lack of sanitation can take a heavy physical toll.
The Chilean government has drilled holes large enough to send a video conferencing camera, small amounts of food and water, and oxygen down to the men. There is a room off to the side for ‘taking care of business’.
Reporters say that the men seem to be in good spirits.
Having said all that, my question(s) for you would be,
- Have you ever thought about having to deal with a survival plan is something like this were to happen to you?
- Would you be able to be as brave as these men and survive it?
- What is your first thought about this story?

I am floored with the good spirits of the miners. I think they are beyond brave and are making the best of an unreal situation. No, no clue what I would do in that situation and do not know how I would handle it. It will definitely be interesting to hear more of their stories once they are back on top of the soil.

Hello I am a new follower from FF. I would love a follow back at http://megankayden.blogspot.com/
I would be terrified if I were one of those miners. However, since I bring my security blanket (book) where ever I go, it would help pass the time.

I saw them smiling and waving on the news the other night. They are some strong willed people for sure!

I have thought of what I’d do in a disaster to a mere extent and the first thing I know is that I’d lessen myself and allow myself to respond in the environment that I’m in and not wish for this or that or do the, if only I’d known and then it will be easier somewhat.
If I was in their position, I’d try to calm my mind and take it as it comes. That is all you can do.
When I first heard this story, I had no idea it was that bad. So now, I wonder as a wife and mother, how I’d deal with the situation and really I’d get my wits about me and carry on.
I hope they get rescued sooner.

It would take a strong constitution to withstand that long of an ordeal and lots of prayer. God forbid.

that’s a loooooooooooooong time to be trapped underground. I think I’d ask for some mushroom spores so I could try a science experiment or two. (wink*wink)
