Initially given up hope from those above ground, but eventually it is hope that prevailed and the resilience of the miners that saved them
The live coverage is still ongoing on CNN. It is good to let the kids watch the epic rescue effort and learn a thing or two about resilience and caring for community (group spirit in the interest of survival for all) while they waited for their rescue and NEVER give up hope.
One up for human spirit and for those who believe in God, it is truly a miracle
As one of the miners said after being rescued, he met God down there
The Chilean president was there to welcome the miners
The Bolivian president was there too to welcome his citizen

So touching.
