Miners Trapped in Mine for 321 hours!

I don't know if many My ltters who do not live in Australia, know of the Beaconsfield Mine Tragedy. About 11 months ago, there was a minor earthquake in Tasmania, and a mine collasped. One miner was killed, but two were trapped, in a small space where they could not strech out or stand up. They stayed like this for two weeks. Australia watched with baited breath for two weeks, as they rescue process took place. I believe this was shown in many countries around the World. Even one well known media personality, collapsed & died of a heart attack whilst covering this amazing rescue. When rescued, the celebrations in this small mining town were immense. Many an Aussie, including myself, were in tears. The two miners were taken to hospital, but one walked out the same day. The other had leg injuries. Later, they were flown to New York to appear on the Good Morning show. It has just been announced that the two surviving miners have released a single. The profits from this song all go to the local community. Read the full story here: http://www.news.com.au/adelaidenow/story/0,22606,21556010-5006301,00.html
