Bad news about the trapped miners in Chile,I hope they get to them sooner than they are predicting(4 months) I am sure I remember a similar incident somewhere in the world where they managed to drill a shaft wide enough for a man to be hauled up,these lads are having a rough time down there and I only hope they stick it out till they are rescued.
The mines rescue team for for yorkshire was based in Erskine Road ,Rotherham many years ago and were professionals,but I suppose after the mines were privatised they were disbanded and no longer exist,though it would be good if they do and could be sent over to Chile to help out.
