Well, that's definately good to hear. I wonder what it was like be down there for 2 weeks unsure if they can rescue you or not.

They had a small tunnel connecting them for all that time for food, drink, clothing even entertainment. The two survivors (one died in the inital rock slide) didn't seem too bad when they reached the surface, even clocking their shift off!

As a manager, i hope they were actually working for that time they've clocked themselves for

Its incredible that they've come out of it with hardly a scratch 👍

Good to see them safely above ground. According to the Diary in The Glasgow Herald, one of them asked for a newspaper to be provided to them. When asked why they replied "Because we need to look for new jobs". That's the spirit.
