18 Miners Free

With 18 miners now free in Chile, the rescue has gone beyond the half way point. All of the miners up to this point have been in good health conditions upon their rescue. None of them have needed special medical attention, even the diabetic; which is amazing having spent sixty-nine days underground. The mayor cancelled school for all to observe the rescue from their own homes. The media coverage on this rescue has gone global and this is historical, as no other people have survived from being trapped underground so long. This will obviously not be a success until all thirty-three miners are safely above ground. Also, with their lives being deeply changed, they will be cared for until it is clear each miner has somewhat readjusted. Watching in the eyes of the world, it will be interesting to learn the outcome for each survivor of the mining disaster. Until further news, hopefully the remaining miners make it out safely.
