    That's the way how things must be done...Serously, quitely and strongly, with no doubts.
    A clear management, strong proffesional knowledge, hard unstopped work and all the necessary resources availables brought from where they were, outside or inside Chilean borders.
    A very deserved hurra to the rescuers that will be a there long time to get the miners out and a very warm Hi! to the miners down there because their srong capacity to resist 17 days without comunication and limited resources in an extreme enviroment. Now they need to be patients to get the surface as soon as possible with the assistance from their families and proffesional staff.
    All Chile have been with them and will be up the momente they can be with their next of keen.....
    And as our President said yesterday

    VIVA CHILE, MIERDA......!!!!!!
