The Sixth of 33 workers trapped for more than a month deep in a Chilean mine reached the surface in a specially made rescue capsule.
It was the first known rescue of its kind from this depth and of this number of miners in the history of underground accidents.

If I am right the paramedic was "found" out to have two wives. Think he might plan to stay down there rather than face the wrath of his two wives....not joking about the situation, just wanted to lighten the mood a little.
As for the miners, stuck in a hole since August 5, kudos to the men for their resilience. And to the rescuers who are trying to get them out.
My heartiest wishes for long life and thank god for reunited with their family's....
since after all the 33 miners are on the surface still the rescuer sent down to help them needs to be pulled out too!!
So far it's been amazing looking at the Fenix 2 capsule going down empty and coming back to surface with happy faces.
B2D: overtime I do not know but some of the have already started thinking about changing jobs.
Regards!!
Even BBC is giving live coverage of it. 7th one is out. Hope they all cope well with the post traumatic stress.

and laughing Baldrick, good question by the way, this is real life time experience for them,.
Will they be paid overtime?
Need 33 miracles.
It's not over till the last man is out.
Must have been one hell of an experience! If it would have happened in Qatar would they have needed an exit permit?
