The news moved me as the imminent rescue began from the harrowing entrapment yesterday, witnessing online, their trip up to the surface one after another.
As the world revels in the success, the feel-good factor is tempered when CNN reports that Chinese coal miners have succumbed to poor safety standards and 2,631 lives have been lost in 2009 alone!
It was unity that helped the 33 Chilean Miners survive 69 days underground, including more than two weeks when no one knew whether they were alive. But credit has to be given to the Chilean government on how they orchestrated the whole rescue.
And you just can't help but wonder how China, the world's second largest economy, is unable to rescue its miners!
