Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Esperanza Waits Above (Chilean miners)
Good! I hope you registered it.

After food started coming down, one of the miners jogged about a half mile each day through adjacent tunnels. The miners were not confined to one room. Not airless, but it would be to me- a temp of 30 C. and high humidity would have immobilized me.

I am also sure the mine bosses would not have just abandoned the men, but would have been working with the government, Chilean Bureau of Mines, and others to try to find a solution.
