The good news story of the century.

Pose123 @Pose123 (21635) • Canada 18 Oct 10

The world watched as 33 Chilean miners were rescued after being buried deep underground for 69 days. This could be called "the good news story of the century". What especially inspired you about this historic event?

Miners Found But Will Be Trapped for Months

teamrose @teamrose (1492) • United States 27 Aug 10

Utah Mine collapse, how long should they look for survivors?

whywiki @whywiki (6066) • Canada 23 Aug 07

It seems the co-owner of the mine where the collapse happened will bore a sixth hole to search for the trapped miners and if that fails to find them then he will stop the search. In my opinion they should search until they find...
