In fact he won't do a single thing
he doesn't blow bubbles
or swim around
he doesn't even sing

When folks ask why? I tell them 'cause my fish was raised by crazy cats!!

A Miners Nightmares

Mining Disaster

In Chile on august 5th 33 male adults (oldest 63 Mario Gomez) mining for copper & gold were eating their lunch in a cave when rocks weighing approximately 70,000 tons came tumbling down trapping them in their coffin.

The thing that the rescuers worry about the most is panic attacks & blood clots. Since the miners have been trapped for 2 months with no sunlight the miners have to wear special sunglasses to protect their eyes when they get out.

The rescue is underway, they start by drilling a shaft for the capsule (10 ft tall,21 inches wide) to drop down. The rescuers have put a video camera in the capsule thats gonna be fixed on their eyes so they can tell/see signs of panic attacks. The miners are estimated 2300 feet underground so it will take about 48 hours to get all miners out.

(In conclusion) i'm sure it will be a relief when they get out, everyone wishes families good luck
and all we can do is hope this will work smoothly. They are sure to get lots of money when their free.

On Thursday the 14th at about 3:00 clock all the miners were out.

The Chile miners

On August the fifth, 33 men from Chile were mining copper and gold but 700,000 tons of rock fell and trapped the men. The oldest person down in the mine is 63 year old Mario Gomez. The mine is 2300 feet deep.


The problem for the men is if panic attacks start. They've been down there for 68 days. If they get blood clots it won't be a nice sight and they need sun light.


The rescue capsule is 21 inches wide and is ten feet high. They needed to drill a hole down first to send food, water and supplies. The capsule takes about 20 minutes to come up and down for one person. It will take 48 hours (2 days) for the whole operation.


In conclusion we all hope the men get out safely. They will want to see there family's because of how long they've been down there. They will get lots of money from interviews.
