hi there

I work also within the mining industry (and working U/G tonight) and my admiration & respect to all those trying there hardest to free there fellow workers/mate.

Wish you all well guys and your safe return to the surface.

Indeed.

I hear they're being offered big bucks for their story. I reckon they're going to need all of it plus a lot of compo to get their heads right again after that.

I can't imagine anything worse especially since the rescue effort has been under way for such a long time.
I've seen blokes in the bush go barmy just thinking about going home after a few weeks let alone after being buried alive!

I've worked underground and it would drive me mad but I'm already a bit stuffed in the head anyway according to some rude people.

Good luck to them and their families.
Alan.

Yeah, Hope all goes well and they get them out soon.
This is what myself and many other Mines Emergency Response workers train for but hope to never to have to use in real life. Competed in the annual surface comp this weekend gone and our thoughts were with these guys, their family's and workmates.

An ending that only Hollywood could imagine: They are freed on the day of their workmate's funeral and are able to attend the funeral. If you saw it in a movie, you'd pooh-pooh the ending! https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

Fantastic (and by that I mean its informal meaning of "extraordinarily good" - not its correct meaning of "imaginative or fanciful; remote from reality" https://www.aulro.com/afvb/ https://www.aulro.com/afvb/ )

Congrats to all those involved and the other heroes, the blokes who went in to get them out.

I wonder when/how post traumatic stress will hit them. That's not something that I'd like to go through.

Well done, everybody.
