BigKahune Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Wonderful to see a mine incident have a happy ending. As far as the movie rights - reports have hinted at a lot of "negotiations" for all kinds of things that have gone on with miners, their families etc. Interesting side stuff to the main concern of a successful rescue.

chengin Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I saw reports that some of them might be better off staying down there! Apparently there were a couple of cat fights up above when some girlfriends/mistresses appeared holding photos of some of the trapped guys which looked familiar to the relevant wives! Needless to say they didn't know about each other. Man, thats gonna be fun to try to explain to the missus when you get out. Great news they are getting out earlier than expected though.

Bowdiddley Posted October 13, 2010 Author Share Posted October 13, 2010 Big Bill I've been to Brazil a few times and the people are incredibly nice people but these folks at the mine are Chilean. They are even nicer in Chile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
