Last year I was watching the Chile mine rescue.

Other then seeing one of the Chile miners on David Letterman, I haven't heard any more. I saw the rescue live with a friend. The guy on tv was funny. He loved Elvis, and sang and danced to a song of Elvis. I think they are probabley in therapy somewhere.

2. Thanks for the link, hamsterjill.

I read it. So sorry for those miners. At least they are alive. I knew they couldn't be okay, even though I heard different. I hope all of them well. An amazing rescue, I thank everyone involved, and the media, so I could see.

8. You are most welcome.

Like you, I kept up with their story during the time they were trapped, and anxiously watched as each one was lifted to safety, breathing a sigh of relief as each one emerged. I also remember feeling SO PROUD that humanity has members like the guy who was the first one to go down the shaft to get to the miners. What courage!!!

Like you, as well, I hope that things turn around for them and their quality of life improves.

3. Here's a link to the video of the Chilean miner who appeared on Letterman:

He was a fantastic guest and you could tell that Dave just loved him...

5. I believe the entire interview is on YouTube in three parts

But I didn't know if whoever reads this would feel like sitting through the whole thing, though it is extremely entertaining...

6. I laughed during the interview.

7. So did I, such a great interview!

And the translator was also an important part of the act. This has got to be one of Dave's favorite interviews ever!

9. I think 60 Minutes did a follow up on them. Many have ptsd. Your life ends up filled

with fear and other bad emotions.

10. I bet it does.
