Miner Problem

The story of the 33 miners trapped 2,300 feet underground in Chile is remarkable. What will be more amazing is if they all come out alive in four months, once a rescue shaft has been dug down to them.

I'm sure the mining company can keep them fed and hydrated through the smaller hole they've already drilled, but I keep wondering about the conditions down there. Spending a third of a year with that many people in a confined space is something that not even the most overzealous "Big Brother" contestant would sign up for.

I feel sorry for any of the 33 men who snores. I'd give it a week before the rest of the guys go Piggy in "Lord Of The Flies" on him.
