I think a 4 day weekend is more than enough.

2. With all their overtime, they should be able to chalk up
some serious vacation time. Also think of all the cash that they earned in addition to their vacation.

7. I think they'll have movie and book deals
and won't need to work in a mine ever again. I can see the movie now. Just think of 33 men stuck in one room for 70 days - that in itself would be a movie.

10. I thought Piñera said the mine would not reopen...
