Have you been reading about the 33 trapped miners in Chile? They were there 17 days before they were discovered to be alive and now they are being told it may be 4 months before they can be freed.
I can not imagine having to work more than a mile underground. To be trapped there for 5 months is beyond my comprehension. That's half a year. No sunlight, no stars. No trees, no grass, no flowers. Nothing but the same gray walls everywhere you look. The same 32 people day in and day out.
And to get home, they are going to havng to climb into a capsule that will be in a 28" diameter hole and travel over a mile to the surface. Most airplane passenger seats aren't 28 inches wide and you know how cramped those things are.
There is news from Chile that a new plan might get the miners out in 2 months instead of 4. That's good news, but still!
Pray for these men and their families. And for the men and women working to get them out.
