They've been down there for how long? Just over 2 months, 69 days or something...
Couldn't they have waited 8 more hours for daylight?
Just sayin...
Glad they are safe and everything, and amazing that they were able to stay healthy and that they would manage a way to rescue them...
But I'm sure daylight could make this whole process ALOT easier from the top side...
EDIT -- I'm an idiot, I never even thought that it was precautionary because of the light adjustment they would have to endure once coming outside after months in that much darkness... |

This is a real world game of lemmings.
Hopefully they all get out safe asap. 2 months in total darkness is scary. All they could do is believe they would get out. |

it takes about 1 hour to rescue each miner so there is no way to avoid doing it at night unless they plan to shut it down for 10+ hours at sunset

they were not in total darkness. they had lamps that one miner figured out how to recharge using car batteries |

The whole thing is nerve wracking. It's unbelievable that these men could have survived so long down there, but the mine couldn't be safe enough for them to go down and do their jobs on a regular day.
The media coverage, the support from the whole world is just mind boggling. Apparently the miners received media training while still in the mine. |

There's definitely gonna be a movie about this.
There's also multiple women coming out for the same men.. Drama! lol |

Being Chilean myself, I'm even more relieved that they are finally being rescued...
I just don't understand why it took so long....
Well at least they are all good and healthy. They'll be famous for the rest of their lives... |
