Underground


I can not imagine how would be to live one month in a locked place. I wonder how the Chilean miners are living trapped 700 meters underground. This accident has already completed one month and 21 days. According to the "rescue officials" they will be removed from the tunnel in November.
An interesting fact of that story is how digital media are helping to keep the miners alive. They're communicating with rescuers and doctors through micro cameras sent by all of the ventilation tunnel. Also are keeping in touch with family and getting entertainment devices such as iPods with favourites songs and portable games as PSP. They can watch soccer matches and movies by mini hd projectors as well.
I know that to be living in a "hole" should be a nightmare but it could be worse without the digital media devices.
I hope everything goes well!!!!

  1. What an amazing story. I've been following it pretty closely, myself. It's incredible that they've all managed to survive thus far... Here's hoping to November arriving sooner rather than later so that these brave men can go home to their loved ones!
