This has been a gripping story. Today I spent some time on the live feed, watching the proceedings.
Here’s my concern. While I wish the freed miners all the best, I hope the rescuers aren’t forgotten. They are the real heroes, but the media, and public attention in general, will inevitably focus on the men who were trapped.
As for that first rescuer who went down the shaft... No matter how many test runs they did, to willingly go down in that cage took (and I normally hate to use this term) balls.
