The Fenix Rescue!

I have been watching the rescue of the Chilean miners. They have been underground, more than 600m under the ground for 69 days now. I have goosebumps.

Not only because a S.African company has been involved with the rescue attempt and has consulted extensively in getting the miners out sooner rather later, but also imagining the conditions that these men have lived under makes me stand in awe of man's capabilities.

Humanity over adversity.

30 degrees heat, 85% humidity, not having opportunity to clean or wash themselves, being couped in the dark with 32 others.

A global effort.

Ah-ah I could never. Makes me think of a father saying that he has to remind and/or force his daughter to at least brush her teeth!! haha!
