Could you imagine being trapped in a mine for 17 days

[LimeHawk]

The story of the mine in Chile is crazy. Do you think that they will pass on the information that it could take them 3 to 4 months to reach them? What the hell would you do to keep from going bat shiat crazy down there?

I am way too claustrophobic to ever go spelunking. I read about cave divers dying and the thought gives me cold sweats.

I have very few genuine phobias, but being trapped is one of them.

From the limited amount of info I have seen, there is no guarantee that they will actually get out alive given the unstable rock/soil/whatever. I can't fathom that at some point you wouldn't loose your fucking mind being stuck 1700' below the surface and knowing that the shit around you could come crashing down on you.

While they are sending down food and water they might want to add some really good drugs too.

Yeah, send them morphine. Might as well sleep as much as possible. Drop some beers and whisky down there too.

That was actually my first thought. We just got back from a week in Montana where whatever pisspoor signal I had would fade in and out. It's a humbling thing to realize how much you depend on a good signal.
