Chile Mine Collapse - the rescue

[JAS]

Quite a sobering and sad update on life since. So much for promises and media hype...

When the 33 miners who were trapped underground in Chile last year were finally rescued, great things were predicted for them.

They would be rich, films would be made about them, journalists would pay fortunes for their stories, and they would never have to work again.

Reality has been far less kind.

One year on from the accident at the San Jose mine, half of them are unemployed and many of those who do have jobs are working part-time, as mechanics, odd-job men or greengrocers...

Huh.

Being alive isn't good enough?

Being alive is good.

Staying Alive was better.

Of course not. Being the richest person in the cemetery is the aim for a lot of people.
