HW #5

2 months is a crazy amount of time to be trapped underground without any real resources that people are used to enjoying on a day to day basis. It is a relief to know that 10 out of the 33 stuck below the ground have been saved although the other 23 are still there which is still upsetting. They are doing their best to get back however and are expected to be pulled up within a short amount of time which is excellent news. All of these workers truly had to keep a positive attitude the entire time for the best results which takes a lot of effort im sure. They seemed to keep themselves occuppied for such a long period of time by cutting at the rock to bring back souvenires which was a great idea. Sending up letters stating that they were all safe was another smart idea of theirs. I'm not sure of how they got them to the top from so far down but all that matters is that they did figure out a way somehow. Overall this incident showed the mining complany that they need to modernise and advance their equipment, skills, and techniques for the concern of their workers' lives. It proved the strength of Chile in being able to accomplish a difficult task for its people as well. The entire thing was well planned and organized.
