16 of 33 trapped Chilean miners lifted to safety after 69 days - The Globe and Mail

I think I might be a little claustrophobic but if that little tube came down to get me out of the mine? I'd close my eyes and enjoy the ride.

It'll be interesting to see how they adjust to society.

A man had to struggle with who would come to see him.

The wife of the mistress.

The media when nuts on this one. The man just spent 69 days in a mine in the ground and your going to discussion who is coming to see him when he comes up.

Amazing group of men. They are all heros now and rightfully so. Every man came up clean shaven and ready to rejoin their loved ones.

Its a great story for mankind. I hope they all have lives that continue to inspire their fellow man for the rest of their days. The long term adjustment may be much tougher than the first few weeks.

Good luck and godspeed to them all.

If things seemed a little quiet on Bodog Poker the last couple of days, there may well be a good reason for it: the dramatic rescue of the 40 trapped Chilean miners captivated the world, causing ratings for cable news broadcasts and visits to news sites to skyrocket and traffic to entertainment and gaming sites sites to drop dramatically.

Liz Bradley spoke to Akamai spoke to CNN about how traffic on the internet shifts radically during events like this: "We consider it pretty significant. Overall we definitely see a trend toward people going online to consume news when these kinds of events happen."

What made this event so massive in terms of traffic was the sheer duration: it was streamed on news sites 24/7 and people were keeping track of it through mobile phones and other means. A CNN spokesperson said that their website served up 5.5 million live video streams between Tuesday at 3PM and Wednesday night, far above the typical viewership.
