OTHER GOOD NEWS

33 MINERS RENEW!

were buried more than two months to 700 meters underground
Science and Technology for Life

The good news of the awarding of the Nobel Prize for Literature for Peru in the name of Mario Vargas Llosa, another good news shakes human feelings in the world: 33 miners in our great country that is Latin America, in a flawless operation for almost 24 hours, have been rescued safely from deep inside the Earth where 33 miners were trapped when an mine collapse in San Jose, Atacama (Chile) last August 5. (Main picture: http://www.elnacional.com/ ).

just 700 meters below ground, 33 miners made their daily work in the mine when suddenly, by a twist of fate, collapsed and trapped in a cave to which the prisoners called "El Refugio". Produced the fatal fact and having spent several days without any sign of the exact location of the place where they could be the miners, said it was impossible to be alive and will work to, hopefully, find his remains.

These miners, like others in the world, including Peru, working in appalling conditions to human and predictable such accidents do not hab ed security systems that allow immediate location and rescue. If this had happened in Peru, for example, chances are you have been given up for dead, period. However, there were people who loved life, people who wager on life and peace, not death as murderers and guerreadores bet of every stripe. Persisted in the hope of finding them alive, until a probe inserted into the depths of the earth came back with a paper that said: "We're fine 33 in the shelter." (Photo: http://www.omnia.com.mx/ )

From that moment they decided to do something almost impossible to rescue the 33 miners alive. Do not skimp on nothing. The rescue capsule "Phoenix II", had called "Jules Verne I" (1) was, without doubt, the best expression of American technology in the service of life. (Now the rescue capsule manufacturing Chilean miners, has the same reputation that the capsule that brought Apollo XI astronauts alive for the first time reached the Moon.) Million was allocated dollars. Came experts in the world. International solidarity stood.

Having planned the rescue for Christmas and New Year, on 12 October at 11 pm (time of Chile), the world had turned its attention to the entry of the capsule to lift the first mining, as indeed occurred, then for the second, third, etc. until 23 hours after continuous efforts to land the final regrowth mining, all 33, safe and sound!, before the astonished gaze of the world.

This is a good sign for humanity. Symbolizes solidarity universal struggle for life and for world peace. Embodies the importance of science and technology. Raises the need to overcome the human condition in the work of the miners of the world from the excessive appetites for profits. No to war whose purpose is to destroy human life, yes to peace, which is defending it. "War Peru-Chile, for example? Historical absurdity own warrior mentality of past centuries. Peru, Chile, Bolivia and all the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean, Asia and Africa, and in general the world, united for peace, for life, for better working conditions for the gradual eradication of poverty, ignorance and underdevelopment.

(1) : French Jules Verne in his summit novel Journey to the Center of the Earth , published in 1864, thus describes the deep bowels of the earth: "It is well known that heat increases by about one degree for every 60 feet below the surface of the globe. So assuming this proportionality constant, since terrestrial radio has 1,500 miles in the center there is a temperature that exceeds the 200,000 th. The materials inside the earth are thus in a state of incandescent gas, as metals, gold, platinum, the hardest rocks can not withstand such heat. " In another passage describes a situation that can be attributed to either of the rescued miners for their relentless struggle against adversity and life: "The elements conspire against me! The air, fire and water join forces to oppose my passage! Well, we'll see what can my will! I will not yield, not retreat one step and see who is stronger, whether man or nature. "
