Meanwhile, in Chile...

I know that this isn't what this blog is about, but I just wanted to take a sec to point towards the first of the Chilean miners that have been freed after two months underground.

Just to give you an idea of how much of a feat this was, the depth of the rescue tunnel was almost 600 metres, which if you dug the tunnel out wide enough, you could drop two Eureka Towers into and still have enough room to fit an average two-storey house.
