When someone writes that ballad, please mention that the Chilean rescue teams were immediately drilling. It took more than a couple weeks to contact them, but no rescue would have happened if the miners had died of starvation in that mine. The whole world assisted the rescue, but the first contact should be Chile's pride.
All this happened in a country that moves over about 10 feet every few years. From Wikipedia about this year's earthquake: "Seismologists estimate that the earthquake was so powerful that it may have shortened the length of the day by 1.26 microseconds and moved the Earth's figure axis by 8 cm or 2.7 milliarcseconds. Precise GPS measurement indicated the telluric movement moved the entire city of Concepción 3.04 metres (10 ft) to the west. The capital Santiago experienced a displacement of almost 24 centimetres (10 in) west, and even Buenos Aires, about 1,350 kilometres (840 mi) from Concepción, shifted 3.9 centimetres (1.5 in). It is estimated that Chile's territory could have expanded 1.2 km² as a result."
This list shows almost 20 major earthquakes since 1960. The Chileans are GOOD at disasters. They have to be.
