Not only are they out but they WALKED , arms raised in triumph , after 14 days trapped  1km underground. Everyone is overjoyed, however,thinking of their co-worked who was killed in the rock fall. His family waited as long as they could but decided to go ahead with the funeral today. It now seems that the two miners MAY be able to say goodbye to their mate.(If cleared by doctors...they have just arrived at the hospital)
A huge effort by resee workers who worked in dangerous very difficult conditions,
A bitter sweat day.

Such a dangerous work to be miner...

What I found the most amazing was that it turns out they couldn't even sit up where they were trapped. They spent the whole 14 days lying down and could only raise their heads 15cm before touching rock. Creeepy! I would have died of panic. What miraculous guys these are! I can't believe they could still walk! :clap:

Such a wonderful outcome for what must have been a completely harrowing experience for everyone concerned - how sad that one of the miners was not spared.
Their families must be so relieved
