Rescued

Early this morning, the first Chilean Miner that has been trapped for over 70 days, made history as he emerged to the surface. It began the well planned out, and so far successful plan to get the other 32 miners out. Since then, 17 miners have been recovered, with all 33 to be expected to be out by the end of the day.

It is just incredible to see the entire world watch as they waited for the first miner to return. And tears of joy flooded the scene as the rescue process began. The miners have already shown their gratitude by bringing fools gold and starting chants after their return.

It is also amazing to find out how they survived this long. Surviving off of water and a spoon of tuna fish a day seems pretty impossible. But they seem to pull it off. Some miners have said that there was actually 34 people there, including God. They also say that the Devil was also in there, but God won.

And like Whoopi Goldberg said, when we watch all of this take place, we don't seem to be focused on war and terrorism and the nasty politics that seem to be going on right now. It is just a moment to really appreciate the sight of a person being reunited with their family and just being grateful to be alive. It is a lesson to all of us, and I think that is why so many people are paying attention right now.

They are considered heros of Chile right now, and I can see why. They have shown incredible strenght and courage to face the edge of death every day for 70 days. They have also shown how to stick with their brothers in times of trouble. They may only think that they're just simple miners still, but they are an international inspiration to everyone right now and their lives will be changed forever.
