chile miners being rescued

well so far there is one man up, one out of 33.  i am kinda surprised at how emotional i am at seeing the minors come up, i havent really followed this story, (isnt it a shame how we kinda ignore what is happening in other countries?  if this had happened in the US i sure would have felt stronger about this accident.)  anyway its emotional for some reason to me.  its probably about the coming together we all feel when something momentous like this happens.  too bad it takes a tragedy or something catastrophic to bring us together emotionally.
