1. 17 days ago, a mine in Santiago Chile collapsed and 33 miners were trapped inside. After all the worrying and agony from the loved ones and authorities, the miners are found perfectly safe at the mines shelter. The miners sent a note stating that they were all fine, and the president Sebastian Pinera waved it to Chile's people. All of Chile celebrated happyness.
2. Many people are involved in this article. It begins the president of Chile saying that all of the miners are fine. Then its talks about the 33 miners and the plan to how they will be rescued. It also includes many rescue teams from many parts of the world like the US, Australia, and of coarse Chile.
3. Something wrong with this article, is that the author out of nowhere starts talking about a miners event in the US that lasted seven days. Maybe the author wanted to establish a relationship of events between the two accidents, but does not make it clear. There is a small bias in this article. The author is stating that after the miners were found okay, the entire population of Chile gathered around in joy and excitement. I believe that the only ones doing this would be the miners' loved ones. Most of the people would be relived that they were found okay, but they would not have gone to celebrate to the Plaza Italia as the author stated. Also, from what the author explains, he makes it seem as if the US was directing the rescue. There is a statement where an american rescuer says that what his team is doing, is logical thing to do; in a very minimizing manner. After the miners where found ok, they explained how they would get food, water, and oxygen over to the miners. These are their essentials to survive. Sanitation is also something they need. It is rumored that the miners will be rescued in about four months, and throughout this period of time, where will they do common necesities such as urinating? This lack of sanitation in such a crowoded area could actually end up killing them. So they should think of a way to ensure that it does not happen.
4. In all, I believe that this was a great article. I read about the accident before and thought that it would be really hard to rescue the miners. Fortunately they were found and alive. After they installed a probe from which they can communicate with the miners, a man said that this would help on keeping the miners alive because through this they could communicate with their loved ones. Psychologically this will maintain their spirits in shape. One of the miners stated "God is great and will keep us alive. Patience is all that we need." He is right; all they need to do is be patient and stay strong.
