Default Chilean Miner may want to stay buried

What awaits him on the surface is more dangerous than the mine!

I think he just dug himself a bigger hole!

That miner is really in the poo poo now with the Mrs.

The Sydney Morning Herald video described it as a party like atmosphere down there for the trapped miners.

Start digging toward China, the reception will be better than what awaits you above!

I'm wondering if he's been told that his affair has been found out? It would be bad for him, but a good laugh for the others down there....

I guess in the divorce she will get the gold mine and he will end up with the shaft.

It seems the miner is going to have some company, five others have been caught out. One of them has five women saying that their the one! To make it worse, wives and lovers are making competing claims for compensation.

To pass the time they could start a support group. A good name for the group would be the "Six foot under"

Looks like a sticky time for those above ground as well as those under it.

Family members will most likely be restricted in what they can say, as is already the case with written notes read first by authorities to make sure there are no remarks that could create false hopes or lead to despair.

"For example, one family wrote 'We're sure they'll get you out before [Chile's] national holiday September 18.' We asked them not to do that," Manalich said.
Kind of on a tangent here, but let's hope they don't figure out that they censored it.

On topic though....
that guys in "deep" doodoo.
