That would take some nerve....guts.
« on: October 18, 2010, 09:44:03 AM »
Article about the American drillers that punched the hole for the miners...Hart made a statement that hits the nail on the head. The heroes are the 5 rescuers that went down in the mine. Just think about the first one to go down and the last one to come out. That would take some nerve. I can't imagine being the last one down there...all alone in the dim light...waiting for the capsule to return...no one to help you get in the capsule....no one to double check the latches or whatever on the door before your ascent.

BRRRRRRRR.....I hate tight places and caves.

I am so proud of the American effort, time and the expertise we sent to get these miners out alive.

What didn't I see.?

I saw no big time country's sending their experts to rescue these men, where were the people from the top advanced technical country's all this time.?

We as Americans again have showed to the world that we are a Nation of  people that will go above and beyond all others in the world to help others in an emergency.

God Bless America, we have out faults as all country's do, but we are still the Grandest Nation on earth.
