Thank goodness they were found, and if they can get a wire down, they can get some food, maybe in small pieces, but now at least the families know their loved ones are alive and relatively safe for the moment.
I've Been Frosted
That is good news that they are all alive.. That is bad news that it will take 4 months to get them out.. Worse news is the body oders & stirr crazy to happen..

RICHARD,
Last I heard was it'll take 4 months to drill down far enough to be able to get them out.

They are using tubes called "doves" to get fluid and food down to them.
I read somewhere that the underground shelter they are in is about 1 square mile or something.
They do have an audio connection so family and friends can communicate with them. Apparently people in such a situation can forget who they are in their community - so such a connection is essential.

Light is essential in situations like that.
No light, and they can go insane very quickly.
Will someone please tell me what a spelunker is???

The pictures of these gentlemen coming up from the mine must be a tremendous comfort to their families and friends. On this morning's news they showed a clip where one of the trapped miners asked his girlfriend to marry him![]()
FIND A PURPOSE IN LIFE.....BE A BAD EXAMPLE
I'm wondering about the effects on their health of no exposure to natural light for this long a period of time.

I reckon they are being provided with Vitamin D supplements. As far as the mental health aspects of natural light, maybe they're sending down natural spectrum lights in the palomas.
I think they don't want to get the miners' hopes up too much about an earlier than expected rescue. The miners are involved in their own rescue by clearing rubble from the drilling, which has to be quite therapeutic in its own right; they aren't just helplessly waiting.
This has got to be the most amazing rescue attempt ever.
I've been finally defrosted by cassiesmom!
