trapped miners

And they finally get out! … After been trapped for more than two months, the 33 miners were rescued yesterday night with all the media covering the new.
The pasted August 5th, 33 miners were on their break of lunch inside the mine (it was 700 meters under the ground) when it started to collapse, so the only exit was blocked and they didn’t have an emergency exit. All most immediately the authorities start different plans to get them out, but they realized that the emergency way out was useless, so the plan will take more days than the first thought. The problem was that no one knew if they were ok or if they food or even air. After 17 days of working, one machine could make it to the refuge and when the hammer get out of the hole, a message came with it “estamos bien los 33 en el refugio” (the 33 of us are ok). So in that point everything started.
All the Chilean media and some foreigners were there since day one, and when they knew that the miners were alive they started to investigate more of who they are, how their relationship is, what kind of things they like to do in their free time, etc. Also, some rich people and some artists that gave concerts in our country started to donate money, or travels, even now the parliament voted to give them a pension. So with all this presents some of them will get married, others will travel to the Greek islands, but for sure they will celebrate with their families and eat and drink for all the days they were tapped.
One of the miners is Mario Sepúlveda, he was the second of been rescued. He started to scream of happiness before he get to the ground, and when he finally get out he started to jump all over the place, he went to say thanks to the team that rescued all of them, of course he embraced to his family. After that some medical team take all of the miners to a Hospital in Copiapo, and he didn’t want to be lay down in the bet, he was sitting all the time. And today some media told that he was very energetic and he feels all right, like all most the all of them.
