OT Chilean miners

We should note the success of the efforts to rescue people trapped, entombed even, nearly 2000 feet [600m] underground, below somewhat unstable mine tunnels.
There will, of course, be a deluge of article, books, television and films recording and dramatizing it. And it seemed to be one of the most positive stories for many years in almost every possible way.
I did see the last few miners arrive on the surface, and the enduring image for me was the way the man who had led the 33, and organised them below ground, almost took over at the surface when he got there! 
He was the only one who walked into the hospital tent. ;-) This was a future political leader...
