Trapped



I can't begin to imagine how difficult it is to be trapped 4.5 miles undergound for months to come. Fortunately, the spirits of the 33 Chilean miners appear to be high and they're all alive.

From HuffPo and AP, raw video of the trapped miners...
As the camera shows a table with dominoes laid out, the tour guide says that "this is where we entertain ourselves, where we play cards."

"We meet here everyday," he adds. "We plan, we have assemblies here everyday so that all the decisions we make are based on the thoughts of all 33."

The camera was sent down through a bore-hole used for communications. Another small hole that snakes down to the men's shelter is used for lowering food and a third provides ventilation. The footage shows a close-up of a thermometer reading 85 degrees Fahrenheit.
