Miracle Rescue in Chile

What a story! After 70 days stuck over 2,000 feet below the surface, the last miner was rescued early Thursday morning. I can't imagine the re-entry process needed for those rescued, both physical and psychological; the condition of their eyes, used to only darkness for so long, more resemble those of a mole than those of a human.

One negative from the rescue I read about was actually kind of funny - the mine-side vigil held by friends and family of those trapped attracted both the wife and the mistress of one of the miners, outing his little dalliance. I'm thinking he might want to stay down there a little longer.
