" "I congratulate you because you did your duty, leaving last like a ship's captain," Pinera told Urzua, "(last person out)

"Their salvation triggered a global, shared sense that human ingenuity, this time, had cheated death and that hope had triumphed, amazingly, over fear and disaster."

"The miners' relatives, camped at the entrance to the mine, cheered and wept as each escape was captured by the cameras of 2,000 international journalists.Several of the families, who had already welcomed back their loved ones from the pit, said they would not leave until all 33 miners were hauled up."We're going to stay until the last," said Florencio Avalos's father Alfonso, waiting for his other son, Renan, still among the miners to be rescued.The miners themselves hope the worldwide attention on their ordeal will deliver them lucrative sponsorship and movie deals so they can live comfortably - many hoping they never have to enter a mine again."

three cheers to excellent spirits in humanity!
and may the miners recover soonest! :)
