How would you feel, trapped in a cave?

            After reading BBC News’ Trapped Chilean miners 'could be reached by Saturday' it made me think about how long a process it was to get even this close to saving those miners lives. With all of our technological advancement today, it seems as though the miners should have been saved earlier. I cannot even imagine how hard it must be for the miners and their families, both emotionally and financially.  If this could happen to future miners, should we still let them do it? Is it worth the risk of missing two months of your life trapped in a cave? If there are dangers like this in a job, there should be a way to fix it much quicker! I cannot even imagine what those families are going through. Waking up every day and wondering if his or her dad, brother, father or friend is still alive. I would not be able to handle the pressure. Not only do they have that on their mind, they have to continue working so they are not in even more trouble. I truly feel very bad for everyone involved in this, and I hope that if this happens again there will be something ready just in case.
