The best news of the day must be the breakthrough of the 26-inch-wide shaft drilled half a mile deep into the San Hose mine beneath the Chilean desert which will be used to rescue the 33 miners who have been incarcerated for 65 days.
Now comes the difficult parts. Firstly, the lining of the rescue shaft with steel piping to prevent the shaft from collapse or from the specially-designed capsule from snagging on rocks as it is used to bring the miners back to the surface one by one.
The ordeal of the 33 copper and gold miners, who have survived underground for longer than any others in history, is unimaginable. Now their torture must be even worse as they wait for the last two or three days for the rescues to commence.
On the other hand, who can imagine their joy and excitement at being reunited with their families, events that will be watched world-wide?
The rescue is a tribute to the various organisations that have doggedly drilled three separate shafts to ensure the safety of these men.
