Trapped miners in Chile

[solentstars]

Seems ironic that everyone is talking about miners being saved on Thatcher's birthday.

 

dune will be upset but its great to see real heros in this day and age and all the people who are helping out.

That aside, nice to see the huge appetite for a feel good story on the news, welcome relief.

And Liverpudlians. She must be spinning.

[Liquidshokk]

OOH, the mind boggles. One could get desperate after a couple of weeks of going without.

 

I heard Gary Glitter is in Chile now. Only place where you can slide a miner up and down your shaft and get applauded.

Thankk god the miners family are ****ed off with the non chilean media constantly spouting of all the medical negativity

 

some have said they should shut the F up.

 

No wonder we are a maby pamby country we induce people to be stress out and develop quasi mental health problems. the chileans have far more resolve than our sick lame and lasy thanks to social workers etc

We do seem to have a state of people where mental and physical problems become a vocation rather than a hinderance but only because it's catered for, I'm sure everywhere has it's fair share and Chile have one hell of an alcohol problem, all that good wine I guess.

They're fine

 

Apart from Pneumonia, Silicosis, Diabetes, Hypertension and "Weakness"

 

But yes the UK media had sod all else to speculate about so they resort to the same old BS speculation.

 

Only a few more hours to go and the World can uncross it's fingers and breathe again

[dubai_phil]

Oh, I shouldn't...

 

Are they wearing those sponsored suits because it is a bit Chile when the get to the top of the shaft?

[Marsdinho]

Chilean woman aren't that attractive. FACT

Chilean woman aren't that attractive. FACT

 

That's why the miners trapped themselves down there in the first place IMO

[trousers]

The miners are actually only 20 feet below the ground and for the last 69 days have been on a film set to give the impression of being trapped underground.

 

It was all set up by the Chilean government to boost their popularity.

Didn't take long for these theories to emerge. I was expecting it right from the off.

[EastleighSoulBoy]

All miners safely retrieved.

 

Job done.

 

Well done to all the Chilean people who never gave up on their compatriots in their hours and months of need.

 

Uplifting news.

 

Now to heal, carefully, those surely tortured minds.

[hutch]

I knew everything was going to be OK when I saw that bloke turn up carrying some chicken, a pair of slippers and a fishing rod on Sky News. He looked familiar!

The clues and questions are there....

 

- billionaire president in need of popularity boost. (and, coincidently a week before a planned 'promo' trip to Europe)

 

- miners looking remarkably well upon emerging

 

- how did the capsule negotiate the existing tunnels and caverns it supposedly drilled through? The shaft was drilled at an angle, thus gravity would have swung the base away from the next opening

 

- ironically, in an attempt to avoid conspiracy theories, dozens of cameras were used to capture 'every' moment. The theory being: "the more we show the more people will believe it". And, perhaps they simply forgot to put a camera in one of the aforementioned existing accessible tunnels half way down so we could see the gravity defying capsule passing through?

 

- the release date was purposely timed so that it coincided with Lady Thatcher's 85th Birthday as a token of revenge for her treatment of Arthur Scargill and his fellow miners

 

Not that I believe in any of this twaddle of course.

LOL,

 

 

Whats makes me laugh is when they rescued the last miner, they all went off cheering and singing to to some wild party somewhere, but the poor medic sod who they sent down two days ago is still down there, they forgot about him.
