this one miner named edison pena was given a free all expenses paid trip for two to memphis to come visit graceland. apparently he is a big elvis fan and passed the time in the mine leading elvis sing a longs down there. apparently he also ran an hour a day down there in the mines. this guy is awesome and i cant wait to meet him and get an exclusive interview for 2pz.

HOLY CRAP WILL YOU LOOK AT THAT THING!

SAN JOSÉ MINE, Chile — The first of 33 miners who had been trapped underground for two months ascended to the surface here early Wednesday morning, the beginning of the end of a rescue operation that has inspired the nation and riveted the world.

The first miner, Florencio Ávalos, 31, traveled up a narrow, nearly half-mile rescue shaft in a specially designed capsule that officials had been testing for much of Tuesday. When he emerged, rescue crews broke out into huge rounds of applause. (via)

chilean miners rescue

they are about to be rescued any second now... but have you seen the one man elevator they are putting down there to pull them out one by one? i have so many questions. they say it takes like 20 minutes to pull somebody out. how do they pick who goes last? what if you freak out 7 minutes in? that bottom escape hatch doesnt look too promising either.

UPDATE: i just read the article where i got this image. it actually answered a lot of my questions. thank you internet!
