It's a trap!

[Capernicus]

At least it is for 33 Chilean miners

Sebastian Pinera, the Chilean president, stunned the country on Sunday, when he announced that a written note sent through a bore hole proved that all the 33 miners were alive.

"All 33 of us are well inside the shelter," said the note, written in bold red capital letters.

Rescuers discovered the trapped men when they heard hammering noises.

The men were working at the San Jose gold and copper mine near the city of Copiapo, 500 miles north of Santiago, at a depth of around 2,300 ft when the rock above them collapsed on Aug 5.

But amid the joy of the news of their survival, Andres Sougarret, the engineer in charge of the mission, said it could take months to free the men from their underground prison.

It would take "at least 120 days" to carve a second shaft that was wide enough for the miners to be pulled up one-by-one.

Let us all honor these brave men by overusing a tired meme!

Caper Caper Caper. I tend to believe you fell into the trap yourself. Good luck to them though!

I heard about this. The good thing is that they're alive. Hopefully they can hold out long enough. Perhaps other countries can lend them their... I forget what their technical name is, but those people that helped dig out survivors during the earthquakes.

4 months with limited food, water, and a ever depleting fresh air source. deep under the earth in a dark moist cave.

I wish them luck.. they're gonna need it.
