Trapped Chilean miners How many will survive?

So they've asked for wine, cigarettes and beans. They're given vitamin laden soups and antidepressents instead.

How many of these poor bastards are getting out of HELL alive?

Don't anti-depressants make you loopy during traumatic stress? I know you aren't allowed to be around heavy machinery when you're on them.

I'd hope it's just Valium. Let the guys sleep, wake up, eat, and then go immediately back to sleep. In a sense, put them in semi-suspended animation.

26" wide hole they're drilling...so I can see why no booze, which could bloat them. The anger unleashing power of alcohol also wouldn't be good. But, damn, I'll bet those men would give anything for a drink.

I wonder if they could lower down a cable teevee?

They have to work in shifts the entire time they are down there. Clearing the rocks and debris that the drilling is dropping down.

To me, this is just Chile making a situation appear terrible, so when they get them out in a couple weeks they look amazing. :mexican

Yeah, let them see a CNN feed so they can see that they're fucked for a while.

No CNN International, which truly sucks. But what channel could you show them? I suggest sports, even though there's probably fans of different teams down there. I could watch sports 24-7 for four months, I think. As long as it's not MU.
