Estamos bien en el refugio los 33

Nothing in the current media has reflected such an uplifting story as the rescue of the 33 miners trapped 600m underground in northern Chile. The 33 (32 Chilean and one Bolivian) miners were successfully recovered last night to tearful families, smiles, cheers, and the presence of the entire world watching to see if they would be okay. The reunions of miners and their families served as a happy reminder that under times of trouble, people can triumph over significant adversity. No one has ever survived below surface for as long as these men, and the outpouring of support is incredible.
To the miners: welcome back, we're glad you're here!
