I agree. Plus, if anything, I'd want an iPad.

That's not a very good point at all. A mine and an oil well are kind of different.

Plus, there are many organizations that specialize in drilling big holes in the earth with all the required equipment already available; whereas, there are no organizations that specialize in plugging oil leaks under thousands of feet of ocean.

there wasn't any leaking coal anywhere

They are both problems to be solved...

Simple as that...

The story about the miner whose baby was born while he was trapped was very touching. I like that they named her Esperanza instead of Carolina

Originally posted by cammaxwell Actually, they are still married apparently but have been seperated for a couple of years and he now lives with this girl. So not as awkward as the press is making it out to be unfortunately!

Not surprised the media twisted this story, trying to create some drama out of it.....

Originally posted by Skipper Apparently they were trapped for 2 weeks before anyone even noticed.

It's not that their disappearance went unnoticed, but coworkers and supervisors initially believed the 33 miners most likely died during the collapse ... they obviously wanted to make sure though, so that's why they were continuously drilling holes in attempts of finding survivors.

Breaking my nail is a problem to be solved as much as world peace eh?

Are you seriously coming back to me with that???

I'm talking about the ability of our engineers in solving engineering problems...

You're comparing a broken nail to world peace...

So glad that everything worked out well

And btw... There is a simple solution to world peace....

It's the execution that is difficult...

Way to go man. Only do a half assed job and have no contingencies to back up your plans. Bah. "We only know how to drill for oil and suck up the profit, not fix or have a plan if shit hits the fan." Idiots.

I'm not saying that it's right, but pulling trapped minors from a mine is pretty much the same as drilling a shaft to begin with; whereas, capping a well is not the same as drilling the well.

I'm giving up on this argument...they are missing the point

Apparently I have to grossly exaggerate to make the point clear.
Oil well and mine shaft are different problems, different solutions.

Well obviously there Skippy....

Different problem different solution but they both require problem solving is all that I'm saying...

Now do you really think that the same amount of effort was put towards the oil spill than as this rescue???

Not a chance. Know why? Priorities...

One was loss of human life the other environmental...

Anyway... They're all safe... I'll anxiously wait for the movie...

well, broken nails are essentially a problem. it's just an example she gave. if they can take out the chilean miners why haven't they figured out broken nails? it's just as difficult to figure out one problem as another.

HAHAHAHHAHAAHHAHAHAH IPODS

HAAHhah oh my fuck what a hilarious joke

"here, at least you'll have something to do next time you're trapped underground for 2 months"

i think more brain power went into solving the oil spill than getting out the miners.

the drilling and procedures for rescue were already in place for the miner resue. they knew where to drill, they had all the stuff ready to go.

Ok...

I'll solve the broken nail thing...

Are we talking about your actual nails or the fake kind??
