I'm very relieved that they've been rescued and wish them the best.

It was a news story with a happy ending. In a few weeks time there will not be a word about it, yes they will be household names for a few months in Chile, then they will probably have to continue mining to support themselves and their families.

The media will focus on the next big story. The only time you will read about these men again will be about squabbling over money, fame or the mistresses that turned up that their wives and girlfriends never knew about.

I doubt very much anyone will give the story a second thought by Christmas.
