If I am reading it rightly, one of the miners won't be the last as there are teams of rescuers who are going to go down to assist them. I would think it would be one of them who would be last. T'would be a lonely, nerve-racking thing, to be sure. I'll bet if the oldest miner, 63, had his way, he'd be last as in a captain on a ship. Just guessing from what I've read about him.
